[kde-guidelines] Styleguide: Radio button

[Heiko Tietze]

I suggest to discuss topics in separate threads (and perhaps refere to it from the styleguide). To start with something simple.

* generic structure applied
* "Use radio buttons for 2 to 3 mutually exclusive options. If there are more than three options, use a combo box or list instead." changed to "Use radio buttons for a few mutually exclusive options. If there are more than five options, use a combo box or list instead. In case of artificial opposite options (apply vs. don't apply) consider to replace the radio buttons by one checkbox."
* added "When using a radio button and none of the options is a valid choice, add another option to reflect this choice, such as None or Does not apply"
* added "Always have one radio button selected; make the first item the default option."

* todo: code snippet?

Would be good to revive the example, at least with the a checkbox alternative (apply/don't apply must not applied as radio buttons).
