I looked at KActionCollection. It's used quite much and in many ways  
in our code, so it can't just be taken away. If we want to keep our  
code working we have to either do everything and all Action related in  
one big chunk, or replace KActionCollection with BtActionCollection  
which has more than two functions.
It must at least:
     - return an action by name
     - create a new action with certain arguments and return it
     - add an action
But the most problematic thing is that it's used to add actions to  
windows or widgets automatically. I think I have some time tonight so  
I can look into this, unless Gary is already doing something.

Now we need more communication than ever, so let's keep everyone  
informed about our current tasks.
