+ * The KDCOPPropertyProxy class provides an easy way to publish Qt properties of a
+ * QObject through DCOP.

+ * property() and propertyNames() and also provides automatic set/get methods for
+ * the properties of a QObject. That means for example if your object provides a
+ * QString property called foo , then KDCOPPropertyProxy translates DCOP calls
+ * "setFoo( QString )" and "QString foo()" automatically into the corresponding
+ * setProperty/property calls.
