 * KXMLGUIFactory, together with @ref KXMLGUIClient objects, can be used to create
 * a GUI of container widgets (like menus, toolbars, etc.) and container items
 * (menu items, toolbar buttons, etc.) from an XML document and action objects.
 *
 * Each @ref KXMLGUIClient represents a part of the GUI, composed from containers and
 * actions. KXMLGUIFactory takes care of building (with the help of a @ref KXMLGUIBuilder)
 * and merging the GUI from an unlimited number of clients.
 *
 * Each client provides XML through a @ref QDomDocument and actions through a
 * @ref KActionCollection . The XML document contains the rules for how to merge the
 * GUI.
 *
 * KXMLGUIFactory processes the DOM tree provided by a client and plugs in the client's actions,
 * according to the XML and the merging rules of previously inserted clients. Container widgets
 * are built via a @ref KXMLGUIBuilder , which has to be provided with the KXMLGUIFactory constructor.
