Yeah, I took a look at kdialog too, and thought about using a msgbox with 
the version output of <pick a KDE app>.  But I decided that wasn't close 
enough to what he wanted to mention.  Good to see that I wasn't the only 
one thinking of it, tho. =:^)

One would think that kdialog would have the ability to output an "about 
kde" dialog just like most of the rest of kde apps, but it doesn't seem to 
at this point.  And a "junior job" seems about right.  Given the way it's 
standardized, that dialog has to be a reasonably simple kdelibs call 
away...

But all the programming I do on Linux is bash scripting... =:^( tho I have 
made use of kdialog myself a few times. =:^)
