 * GUI.
 *
 * KXMLGUIFactory processes the DOM tree provided by a client and plugs in the client's actions,
 * according to the XML and the merging rules of previously inserted clients. Container widgets
 * are built via a KXMLGUIBuilder , which has to be provided with the KXMLGUIFactory constructor.
