Detailed Description

This abstract base class specifies the interface for dictionary preference dialogs in user applications.

The DictionaryManager class can be asked for a list of these objects for the current session, and the appropriate signal/slot connections can be made to handle dictionary preferences transparently to the user application.

One annoying caveat is that the user application still has to add preference elements to it's own kcfg file, or the preference code will crash when trying to work with it. Sadly, at the moment the only way to figure out what needs to be added to the kcfg is to read the code, or the kiten.kcfg implementation.
