0024  * @class KHelpMenu khelpmenu.h KHelpMenu
0025  *
0026  * @short Standard %KDE help menu with dialog boxes.
0027  *
0028  * This class provides the standard %KDE help menu with the default "about"
0029  * dialog boxes and help entry.
0030  *
0031  * This class is used in KMainWindow so
0032  * normally you don't need to use this class yourself. However, if you
0033  * need the help menu or any of its dialog boxes in your code that is
0034  * not subclassed from KMainWindow you should use this class.
0035  *
0036  * The usage is simple:
0037  *
0038  * \code
0039  * mHelpMenu = new KHelpMenu( this, <someText> );
0040  * kmenubar->addMenu(mHelpMenu->menu() );
0041  * \endcode
0042  *
0043  * or if you just want to open a dialog box:
0044  *
0045  * \code
0046  * mHelpMenu = new KHelpMenu( this, <someText> );
0047  * connect(this, &ClassFoo::someSignal, mHelpMenu, &KHelpMenu::aboutKDE);
0048  * \endcode
0049  *
0050  * IMPORTANT:
0051  * The first time you use KHelpMenu::menu(), a QMenu object is
0052  * allocated. Only one object is created by the class so if you call
0053  * KHelpMenu::menu() twice or more, the same pointer is returned. The class
0054  * will destroy the popupmenu in the destructor so do not delete this
0055  * pointer yourself.
0056  *
0057  * The KHelpMenu object will be deleted when its parent is destroyed but you
0058  * can delete it yourself if you want. The code below will always work.
0059  *
0060  * \code
0061  * MyClass::~MyClass()
0062  * {
0063  *   delete mHelpMenu;
0064  * }
0065  * \endcode
0066  *
0067  *
0068  * Using your own "about application" dialog box:
0069  *
0070  * The standard "about application" dialog box is quite simple. If you
0071  * need a dialog box with more functionality you must design that one
0072  * yourself. When you want to display the dialog, you simply need to
0073  * connect the help menu signal showAboutApplication() to your slot.
0074  *
0075  * \code
0076  * void MyClass::myFunc()
0077  * {
0078  *   ..
0079  *   KHelpMenu *helpMenu = new KHelpMenu( this );
0080  *   connect(helpMenu, &KHelpMenu::showAboutApplication, this, &ClassFoo:myDialogSlot);
0081  *   ..
0082  * }
0083  *
0084  * void MyClass::myDialogSlot()
0085  * {
0086  *   <activate your custom dialog>
0087  * }
0088  * \endcode
0089  *
0090  * \image html khelpmenu.png "KHelpMenu"
0091  *
0092  * KHelpMenu respects Kiosk settings (see the KAuthorized namespace in the
0093  * KConfig framework).  In particular, system administrators can disable items
0094  * on this menu using some subset of the following configuration:
