Isn't it already done in CEditWidget (by the QT guys)?
I'll try but I'll probably fail ;-)

Not now. IMHO in 0.4 or later.
I get often reports from users unable to install modules (permission 
problems, path problems, configuartion problems etc.).
IMHO this part won't be very big because lots of the functionality i in 
kdelibs (KIO for FTP management, KTar classes for unpacking, KProcess to 
start programs or scripts etc.).
Shouldn't be very hard.

I used it lots in main window, optionsdialog, presenters etc. 
Press SHIFT+F! and test ;-)

Don't you have this nice QT 2.1 documentation?
Have a look in KDevelop (doc part) or in QT2-directory/html/ or 
QT2-directory/doc/html.

Look in bibletime.cpp, in unctions initView. There's an example.

If I remeber right the syntax is QWhatsThis::add(widget, "help text");
add is a static function.

?? 
There are only the modules displayed which will be used for te search. Is 
that wrong?

Do youhave QT 2.1.0 ?
AFAIK many of these small bugs are solved in QT 2.1.1. Why not use the 
qt-copy module of CVSUP?

I'll look at it. Probably a filter thing (htmltoplain).

Really? I thought I fixed it. It works for me (latest CVS of KDE libs).
Wait 20 days until the next beta of KDE2 appears ;-)
