Detailed Description

Easy message dialog box.

Provides convenience functions for some i18n'ed standard dialogs, as well as audible notification via KNotification

The text in message boxes is wrapped automatically. The text may either be plaintext or richtext. If the text is plaintext, a newline-character may be used to indicate the end of a paragraph.

An information dialog box
