0029  * @class KCModule kcmodule.h KCModule
0030  *
0031  * The base class for configuration modules.
0032  *
0033  * Configuration modules are realized as plugins that are loaded only when
0034  * needed.
0035  *
0036  * The module in principle is a simple widget displaying the
0037  * item to be changed. The module has a very small interface.
0038  *
0039  * All the necessary glue logic and the GUI bells and whistles
0040  * are provided by the control center and must not concern
0041  * the module author.
0042  *
0043  * To write a config module, you have to create a library
0044  * that contains a factory function like the following:
0045  *
0046  * \code
0047  * #include <KPluginFactory>
0048  *
0049  * K_PLUGIN_FACTORY(MyKCModuleFactory, registerPlugin<MyKCModule>() )
0050  * \endcode
0051  *
0052  * The constructor of the KCModule then looks like this:
0053  * \code
0054  * YourKCModule::YourKCModule( QWidget* parent )
0055  *   : KCModule( parent )
0056  * {
0057  *   KAboutData *about = new KAboutData(
0058  *     <kcm name>, i18n( "..." ),
0059  *     KDE_VERSION_STRING, QString(), KAboutLicense::GPL,
0060  *     i18n( "Copyright 2006 ..." ) );
0061  *   about->addAuthor( i18n(...) );
0062  *   setAboutData( about );
0063  *   .
0064  *   .
0065  *   .
0066  * }
0067  * \endcode
0068  *
0069  * If you want to make the KCModule available only conditionally (i.e. show in
0070  * the list of available modules only if some test succeeds) then you can use
0071  * Hidden in the .desktop file. An example:
0072  * \code
0073  * Hidden[$e]=$(if test -e /dev/js*; then echo "false"; else echo "true"; fi)
0074  * \endcode
0075  * The example executes the given code in a shell and uses the stdout output for
0076  * the Hidden value (so it's either Hidden=true or Hidden=false).
0077  *
0078  * See http://techbase.kde.org/Development/Tutorials/KCM_HowTo
0079  * for more detailed documentation.
