 * This class is a widget showing a lineedit and a button, which invokes a
 * filedialog. File completion is available in the lineedit.
 *
 * The defaults for the filedialog are to ask for one existing local file, i.e.
 * KFileDialog::setMode( KFile::File | KFile::ExistingOnly | KFile::LocalOnly )
 * The default filter is "*", i.e. show all files, and the start directory is
 * the current working directory, or the last directory where a file has been
 * selected.
 *
 * You can change this behavior by obtaining a pointer to the dialog
 * (@ref fileDialog()) and calling the appropriate methods.
