* (menu items, toolbar buttons, etc.) from an XML document and action objects.
*
* Each KXMLGUIClient represents a part of the GUI, composed from containers and
* actions. KXMLGUIFactory takes care of building (with the help of a KXMLGUIBuilder)
* and merging the GUI from an unlimited number of clients.
*
* Each client provides XML through a TQDomDocument and actions through a
* KActionCollection . The XML document tqcontains the rules for how to merge the
* 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.
