/**
@short Convenience class to mangage context menus
@author Matthias Ettrich <ettrich@kde.org>

KContextMenuManager manages configurable context popup menus.  Instead
of reimplementing TQWidget::mousePressEvent() or
 TQWidget::mouseReleaseEvent() and/or TQWidget::keyPressEvent(), simply
create the popup menu and insert it into the context menu manager with
the static function insert().

Example:
\code
   KContextMenuManager::insert( myWidget, myPopupMenu );
\endcode


Context menus are invoked with either a special shortcut key (usually
the menu key) or the right mouse button.

Menus are configurable in the [ContextMenus] group of the application's
configuration file, usually in kdeglobals:
\code
    [ContextMenus]
    ShowOnPress=true|false
\endcode

@p ShowOnPress defines whether the menu shall be shown on mouse
press or on mouse release.

The shortcut key to invoke the context menu is defined in the standard
[Keys] section of the application configuration:
\code
   [Keys]
   ...
   PopupContextMenu=Menu
   ...
\endcode
The key can be configured with the standard keys module in the KDE control center.

If the popup menu is invoked with the keyboard shortcut, it's shown at
the position of the micro focus hint of the widget ( TQWidget::microFocusHint() ).
