Shortcuts to toggle Dockwidgets

[Milian Wolff]

Yep, another mail from me...

I tried to fix an issue that I personally find very grave: The lack of user 
definable shortcuts to toggle a _specific_ dock widget, say documentation or 
projects.

Here's my first take on it that looks good to me (central place, every dock 
widget gets this feature automagially). It even does what it should do:

Big problem: this stuff is not saved across kdevelop restarts. Got some 
feedback from #kde-devel, turns out that my whole approach is wrong... Which 
is a pity!

The shortcuts get saved in kdevelopui.rc, but they are not associated with 
their actions on restart, since at the time this mapping is done the actions 
are not in the action collection or something like that...

I was told that these actions should go _in each plugin_, and _each plugin_ 
should provie a $PLUGINui.rc ...

Any idea how I could do that? Lets take the documentation dock widget as an 
example... I can't get the toggle action, can I? Means I have to reinvent the 
wheel and make some action that calls the UIController. Probably have to add a 
Toggle value to the findToolView FindFlags...

But I have no idea whatsoever I have to do in order to get a $PLUGINui.rc - I 
mean that plugin is not based of KXMLGUI, is it?

Help!
