/**
 * Provides basic functionality needed by nearly all dialogs.
 *
 * It offers the standard action buttons you'd expect to find in a
 * dialog as well as the capability to define at most three configurable
 * buttons. You can define a main widget that contains your specific
 * dialog layout or you can use a predefined layout. Currently, @p
 * TreeList/Paged, @p Tabbed, @p Plain, @p Swallow and @p IconList
 * mode layouts (faces) are available.
 *
 * The class takes care of the geometry management. You only need to define
 * a minimum size for the widget you want to use as the main widget.
 *
 * You can set a background tile (pixmap) for parts of the dialog. The 
 * tile you select is shared by all instances of this class in your 
 * application so that they all get the same look and feel.
 *
 * There is a tutorial available on http://developer.kde.org/ (NOT YET) 
 * that contains
 * copy/paste examples as well a screenshots on how to use this class.
 *
 * @sect Standard buttons (action buttons):
 *
 * You select which buttons should be displayed, but you do not choose the 
 * order in which they are displayed. This ensures a standard interface in 
 * KDE. The button order can be changed, but this ability is only available
 * for a central KDE control tool. The following buttons are available:
 * OK, Cancel/Close, Apply/Try, Default, Help and three user definable 
 * buttons: User1, User1 and User3. You must specify the text of the UserN 
 * buttons. Each button has a virtual slot so you can overload the method 
 * when required. The default slots emit a signal as well, so you can choose
 * to connect a signal instead of overriding the slot.
 * The default implementation of @ref slotHelp() will automatically enable 
 * the help system if you have provided a path to the help text. 
 * @ref slotCancel() and @ref slotClose() will run @ref QDialog::reject() 
 * while @ref slotOk() will run @ref QDialog::accept(). You define a default 
 * button in the constructor.
 *
 * If you don't not want any buttons at all because your dialog is special
 * in some way, then set the buttonMask argument in the constructor to zero 
 * (0). The optional button box separator line should not be enabled  
 * in this case. Note that the KDialogBase will animate a button press
 * when the user press Escape. The button that is enabled is either Cancel,
 * Close or the button that is defined by @ref setEscapeButton() The 
 * animation will not take place when the buttonMask is zero. Your 
 * custom dialog code should reimplement the @ref keyPressEvent and 
 * animate the cancel button so that the dialog behaves like regular 
 * dialogs. NOTE: None of the regular slots (like @ref slotOk() ) or 
 * signals that are related to the standard action buttons will be used 
 * when you don't use these buttons.
 *
 * @sect Dialog shapes:
 *
 * You can either use one of the prebuilt, easy to use, faces or
 * define your own main widget. The dialog provides ready to use
 * TreeList, Tabbed, Plain, Swallow and IconList faces. KDialogBase uses
 * the @ref KJanusWidget class internally to accomplish this. If you
 * use TreeList, Tabbed or IconList mode, then add pages with @ref addPage(). 
 * If you want complete control of how the dialog contents should look, 
 * then you can define a main widget by using @ref setMainWidget(). You 
 * only need to set the minimum size of that widget and the dialog will 
 * resize itself to fit this minimum size.  The dialog is resizeable, but 
 * can not be made smaller than its minimum size.
 *
 * @sect Layout:
 *
 * The dialog consists of a help area on top (becomes visible if you define
 * a help path and use @ref enableLinkedHelp()), the main area which is 
 * the built-in dialog face or your own widget in the middle and by default 
 * a button box at the bottom. The button box can also be placed at the 
 * right edge (to the right of the main widget). Use 
 * @ref setButtonBoxOrientation() to control this behavior. A separator
 * can be placed above the button box (or to the left when the button box 
 * is at the right edge). Normally you specify that you want a separator
 * in the constructor, but you can use @ref enableButtonSeparator() as well.
 *
 * @sect Standard compliance:
 *
 * The class is derived from @ref KDialog, so you get automatic access to
 * the @ref KDialog::marginHint(), @ref KDialog::spacingHint() and the
 * extended @ref KDialog::setCaption() method. NOTE: The main widget you
 * use will be positioned inside the dialog using a margin (or border)
 * equal to @ref KDialog::marginHint(). You shall not add a margin yourself.
 * The example below (from kedit) shows how you use the top level widget
 * and its layout. The second argument (the border) to @ref QVBoxLayout
 * is 0. This situation is valid for @ref addPage , @ref addVBoxPage ,
 * @ref addHBoxPage , @ref addGridPage , @ref makeMainWidget ,
 * @ref makeVBoxMainWidget , @ref makeHBoxMainWidget and 
 * @ref makeGridMainWidget as well.
 *
 * Example:
 *
 * <pre>
 * UrlDlg::UrlDlg( QWidget *parent, const QString& caption,
 *                 const QString& urltext)
 *   : KDialogBase( parent, "urldialog", true, caption, Ok|Cancel, Ok, true )
 * {
 *   QWidget *page = new QWidget( this ); 
 *   setMainWidget(page);
 *   QVBoxLayout *topLayout = new QVBoxLayout( page, 0, spacingHint() );
 * 
 *   QLabel *label = new QLabel( caption, page, "caption" );
 *   topLayout->addWidget( label );
 * 
 *   lineedit = new QLineEdit( urltext, page, "lineedit" );
 *   lineedit->setMinimumWidth(fontMetrics().maxWidth()*20);
 *   topLayout->addWidget( lineedit );
 *
 *   topLayout->addStretch(10); 
 * }
 * </pre>
 *
 * If you use @ref makeVBoxMainWidget(), then the dialog above can be made
 * simpler but you lose the ability to add a stretchable area:
 *
 * <pre>
 * UrlDlg::UrlDlg( QWidget *parent, const QString& caption, 
 *		const QString& urltext)
 * : KDialogBase( parent, "urldialog", true, caption, Ok|Cancel, Ok, true )
 * {
 *   QVBox *page = makeVBoxMainWidget();
 *   QLabel *label = new QLabel( caption, page, "caption" );
 *   
 *   lineedit = new QLineEdit( urltext, page, "lineedit" );
 *   lineedit->setMinimumWidth(fontMetrics().maxWidth()*20);
 * }
 * </pre>
 *
 * This class can be used in many ways. Note that most KDE ui widgets
 * and many of KDE core applications use the KDialogBase so for more 
 * inspiration you should study the code for these.
 *
 * @short A dialog base class which standard buttons and predefined layouts.
