* @li It controls the event queue (see @ref QApplication ).
* @li It provides the application with KDE resources such as
* accelerators, common menu entries, a @ref KConfig object. session

* @li Installs a signal handler for the SIGCHLD signal in order to

* @li Provides a debugging system for all KDE GUI apps. This can be

//
// Revision 1.169 2000/06/24 15:24:29 faure
// Implemented Waldo's idea. KApplication holds a reference counter:
// * This counter indicates when to exit the application.
// * It starts at 1, is decremented by the "last window close" event, but
// * is incremented by operations that should outlive the last window closed
// * (e.g. a file copy for a file manager, or 'compacting folders on exit' for a mail client).
//
// This fixes "konqueror aborts a save as operation when closing the last window"
// (#4561, from Waldo as well :-) and could be useful to e.g. kmail.
//
// Note: QApplication's lastWindowClosed signal breaks this. BUT KTMainWindow
// was already doing the app->quit on last window, so it was already useless.
// Do NOT use QApplication's lastWindowClosed.
//
// The change is binary compatible, long live d pointers.

// Make dcop calls smarter: no more hanging user interfaces
//
// From the documentation:
//
// * A call blocks the application until the process receives the
// * answer, for a maximum of 1/10 of a second. If the call was not
// * answered by then, the client opens a local event loop in order to
// * keep the user interface updated (by processing paint events and

//
// Revision 1.144 2000/04/27 10:48:30 elter
// Add a global setting for popupmenu tear-off handles.
// A tear-off handle is a special menu item, that - when selected - creates a copy of the menu. This "torn off" copy lives in a separate window. It contains the same choices as the original menu, with the exception of the tear-off handle.
//
// Binary compatible.

//
// Revision 1.139 2000/03/19 19:16:01 faure
// Let the thing be called SettingsChanged, and defined an enum for each
// type of settings. Currently only SETTINGS_MOUSE is used, but feel free
// to add support for SETTINGS_COMPLETION in both kcontrol and the relevant
// classes. One day SETTINGS_PATHS will be supported too (needs a UI first).
//
// Revision 1.138 2000/03/19 13:33:06 jansen
// * Improved KIPC. There are 2 message types now: system messages and user
// messages. There is an event mask related to the system messages so they
// can be blocked. The system messages invoke a certain action inside
// KApplication, the user messages emit KApplication::kipcMessage(id, arg).
//
// * Cleaned up the change message handlers. The "ChangeGeneral" is gone and
// has been renamed to FontChanged. Ever wondered why there was so much
// flicker when changing the font? Previously, kapp would emit 1 style
// changed, 1 font changed, 2 palette changed and 4 (!) appearance changed
// singals on _one_ font change request...
//
// David, I suggested the name "IconviewChanged" for the iconview changes in
// this patch. There's a notice in KApplication::x11EventFilter() for it.
//
// Revision 1.137 2000/03/17 00:16:45 faure
// Added atom for KDEChangeSettings, thanks Geert for the very precious tips.
// Added signal in kapp.h : settingsChanged(), used by K*Views
// (TODO: same for other widgets that use the settings in there)
//
// Revision 1.136 2000/03/13 13:29:49 jansen
// Fixes for running nonlocal applications. I changed two things:
// 1. klauncher registers as "klaucher_$host_$uid" now. This name is available
// trough KApplication::launcher() (static)
// 2. The socketname of kdeinit now includes the display as there can be
// multiple kdeinit's per user on a certain host.
//
// Revision 1.135 2000/02/26 13:53:10 waba

//
// Revision 1.127 1999/12/21 17:39:06 faure
// Here comes the new kDebug. Merged into kdebug.h, but keeping support
// for kdebug(), for compatibility. Also fixed it to work without a KInstance,
// just in case.
// The implementation looks a bit ugly (va_start/va_end for each API call,
// but I didn't find another way. Nice API but heavy code for it).
// Removed kdebug-specific event filter from KApplication.
// kdebugdialog moved to kdebase, as a separate app.

//
// Revision 1.117 1999/10/23 16:16:23 kulow
// here comes KInstance - "KApplication light"
// It's a new KLibGlobal and KGlobal only keeps a pointer to a global
// instance. KApplication is derived from KInstance - making it possible
// to move things out of KApplication into KInstance to make Components
// easier.
// Needs some testings and I bet some tweaks here and there :)
//
// Revision 1.116 1999/10/22 21:08:44 mosfet
// Added an additional bool parameter for disabling of plugin styles. Intended
// only for apps that link to kdecore but don't display a GUI. For apps that
// usually don't use a GUI but may on error see enableStyles().
//
// Revision 1.115 1999/10/21 22:20:09 espensa
// helpMenu(), aboutKDE(), aboutApp() and appHelpActivated() has moved to
// ktmainwindow (kdeui). This will break a lot of code. KDE2PORTING has
// been updated. NOTE: I have left the old code on kapp for now (ifdef'ed

// of using it, you should convert the code that depends on it.
