Thanks Andreas ... :-)

It's rev 762565 of kdegames/kgoldrunner on trunk.  Previous rev
of KGoldrunner was 762169.  Rev 762565 involved small changes to
the three main classes (6 files): main widget, canvas and game.

Not really.  It's more of a technique for initialising an application that
uses SVG graphics.  Sort of like an extension of the normal application
template, where each programmer fills in the blanks.  The amount of
code-change, not including comments and kDebug messages, is 30-40
lines, scattered over 3 classes and 6 files.  I think the best I could do
is add a bit to one of the Techbase pages, with code samples, if people
think that is worthwhile.
