/**
 * Convenience methods to access all standard KDE actions.
 *
 * These actions should be used instead of hardcoding menubar and
 * toolbar items.  Using these actions helps your application easily
 * conform to the KDE UI Style Guide
 * @see http://developer.kde.org/documentation/standards/kde/style/basics/index.html .
 *
 * All of the documentation for @ref KAction holds for @ref KStdAction
 * also.  When in doubt on how things work, check the @ref KAction
 * documention first.
 *
 * @sect Simple Example:
 *
 * In general, using standard actions should be a drop in replacement
 * for regular actions.  For example, if you previously had:
 *
 * <PRE>
 * KAction *newAct = new KAction(i18n("&New"), QIconSet(BarIcon("filenew")),
 *                               KStdAccel::key(KStdAccel::New), this,
 *                               SLOT(fileNew()), actionCollection());
 * </PRE>
 *
 * You could drop that and replace it with:
 *
 * <PRE>
 * KAction *newAct = KStdAction::openNew(this, SLOT(fileNew()),
 *                                       actionCollection());
 * </PRE>
 *
 * @sect Non-standard Usages
 *
 * It is possible to use the standard actions in various
 * non-recommended ways.  Say, for instance, you wanted to have a
 * standard action (with the associated correct text and icon and
 * accelerator, etc) but you didn't want it to go in the standard
 * place (this is not recommended, by the way).  One way to do this is
 * to simply not use the XML UI framework and plug it into wherever
 * you want.  If you do want to use the XML UI framework (good!), then
 * it is still possible.
 *
 * Basically, the XML building code matches names in the XML code with
 * the internal names of the actions.  You can find out the internal
 * names of each of the standard actions by using the @ref stdName
 * action like so: @ref KStdAction::stdName(KStdAction::Cut) would return
 * 'edit_cut'.  The XML building code will match 'edit_cut' to the
 * attribute in the global XML file and place your action there.
 *
 * However, you can change the internal name.  In this example, just
 * do something like:
 *
 * <PRE>
 * (void)KStdAction::cut(this, SLOT(editCut()), actionCollection(), "my_cut");
 * </PRE>
 *
 * Now, in your local XML resource file (e.g., yourappui.rc), simply
 * put 'my_cut' where you want it to go.
 *
 * Another non-standard usage concerns getting a pointer to an
 * existing action if, say, you want to enable or disable the action.
 * You could do it the recommended way and just grab a pointer when
 * you instantiate it as in the the 'openNew' example above... or you
 * could do it the hard way:
 *
 * <pre>
 * KAction *cut = actionCollection()->action(KStdAction::stdName(KStdAction::Cut));
 * </pre>
 *
 * Another non-standard usage concerns instantiating the action in the
 * first place.  Usually, you would use the static member functions as
 * shown above (e.g., KStdAction::cut(this, SLOT, parent)).  You
 * may, however, do this using the enums provided.  This author can't
 * think of a reason why you would want to, but, hey, if you do,
 * here's how:
 *
 * <pre>
 * (void)KStdAction::action(KStdAction::New, this, SLOT(fileNew()), actionCollection());
 * (void)KStdAction::action(KStdAction::Cut, this, SLOT(editCut()), actionCollection());
 * </pre>
 *
