This solution may introduce a circular dependency, but it's more of a soft dependency. If the caller is not a FilterActionWidget, then the only thing that will not work is the value update notification. I've seen that the filteraction.h file is being included in mobile/mail/mobilekernel.cpp, so I don't know if making it into a QObject will break anything.

The only thing that will add that is a few KB per filter object. Yes, on mobile this might (slightly) matter, but I like clean code better. :) Or there is even another solution: make the createParamWidget return an specialized QWidget, eg. FilterParamWidget that has a changed signal. Then you connect the signals from the lineedit, combobox, etc. created *inside* this paramWidget to the signal of the paramWidget. The caller of the createParamWidget() than can use the signal of the returned widget.

I prefer the QObject solution, which is the proper one in this case and not just a hack. I'll implement it and see if anyone complains :-)

> Currently, the Apply button in the Configure Dialog is always enabled. This is because the button was simply added to the dialog and left unconnected to the dialog's logic. This patch implements the behaviour of the Apply button, by enabling it when a value in the dialog has changed. Apart from connecting an appropriate signal of each widget in the dialog to the Apply button logic, some signal/slot implementation was required in various classes of the MailCommon namespace, to enable the notification of a value change in some of the provided widgets (e.g. SoundTestWidget, SearchPatternEdit) or classes (e.g. FilterAction and subclasses).
