This is odd. I've tried running the dialog via "show()" and connecting to the "okClicked()" signal. However, the slot never gets called. If I change it to "exec()" the slot does get called...

e.g. this does *not* work:

        KApplicationSelectorDialog *dlg=new KApplicationSelectorDialog(i18n("XXX"), 0L);
        connect(dlg, SIGNAL(okClicked()), this, SLOT(xxx()));
        dlg->show();

...but this does:

        KApplicationSelectorDialog *dlg=new KApplicationSelectorDialog(i18n("XXX"), 0L);
        connect(dlg, SIGNAL(okClicked()), this, SLOT(xxx()));
        dlg->exec();

(Ignore the obvious memory leak)

-----------------

However, this seems to be a general issue with plasma dialogs. e.g. if you configure a colour for the clock dialog, plasma is frozen. Perhaps all plasma dialogs need to be run via another process?
