/**
 * The base class for configuration modules.
 *
 * Configuration modules are realized as plugins that are loaded only when
 * needed.
 *
 * The module in principle is a simple widget displaying the
 * item to be changed. The module has a very small interface.
 *
 * All the necessary glue logic and the GUI bells and whistles
 * are provided by the control center and must not concern
 * the module author.
 *
 * To write a config module, you have to create a library
 * that contains at one factory function like this:
 *
 * \code
 * #include <kgenericfactory.h>
 *
 * typedef KGenericFactory<YourKCModule, QWidget> YourKCModuleFactory;
 * K_EXPORT_COMPONENT_FACTORY( yourLibName, YourKCModuleFactory("name_of_the_po_file") );
 * \endcode
 *
 * The parameter "name_of_the_po_file" has to correspond with the messages target
 * that you created in your Makefile.am. Instead of using the library name for
 * \p yourLibName you can also use another name which you specify in the desktop
 * file with \p X-KDE-FactoryName. This is useful to have more than one factory
 * in one lib.
 *
 * The constructor of the KCModule then looks like this:
 * \code
 * YourKCModule::YourKCModule( QWidget* parent )
 *   : KCModule( YourKCModuleFactory::componentData(), parent )
 * {
 *   KAboutData *about = new KAboutData(
 *     <kcm name>, 0, ki18n( "..." ),
 *     KDE_VERSION_STRING, KLocalizedString(), KAboutData::License_GPL,
 *     ki18n( "Copyright 2006 ..." ) );
 *   about->addAuthor( ki18n(...) );
 *   setAboutData( about );
 *   .
 *   .
 *   .
 * }
 * \endcode
 *
 * If you want to make the KCModule available only conditionally (i.e. show in
 * the list of available modules only if some test succeeds) then you can use
 * Hidden in the .desktop file. An example:
 * \code
 * Hidden[$e]=$(if test -e /dev/js*; then echo "false"; else echo "true"; fi)
 * \endcode
 * The example executes the given code in a shell and uses the stdout output for
 * the Hidden value (so it's either Hidden=true or Hidden=false).
 *
 * See http://developer.kde.org/documentation/other/kcm_howto.html
 * for more detailed documentation.
