Admittedly, using KStandardAction was a bit intricate. Whoever told Alex to 
use KStandardGuiItem did better. Attached patch is string-safe. On top of that 
it automatically adds the default help icon to the button (which I only found 
out after compiling and running :)).

Alex, you can make the new and remove buttons KPushButtons too and use 
KStandardGuiItems there as well.
