Very exciting indeed! About the ToolBarPopupAction: It may be enough  
to use QWidgetAction and add a tool button with popup menu to it.

I have no time to do anything until Sunday evening, so you are free to  
work as you see fit. Also, depending on the estimated amount and  
difficulty of the remaining work, in my opinion we can have a not  
completely functional HEAD for a moment. It should be compilable,  
though. It needs some polishing before the next release anyways so it  
would be nice to get it to Gary (and others) as soon as possible.

I have to find icons for the former KStandardActions. They can be  
copied from KDE4.

Before the next release I want also to rewrite the Search syntax help  
- it was left out of date. This is, BTW, one place to use a text  
reader dialog class which should be written for the About dialog.  
Maybe I can work on that next week.
