+/**
+ * @mainpage Framework for KDE graphical components
+ *
+ *
+ *
+ * This library implements the framework for KDE parts, which are
+ * elaborate widgets with a user-interface defined in terms of actions
+ * (menu items, toolbar icons). See KParts::Part.
+ *
+ * The library also provides a framework for applications that want to
+ * use parts. Such applications need to inherit their main window
+ * from KParts::MainWindow and provide a so-called shell GUI, 
+ * which provides a basic skeleton GUI with part-independent functionality/actions.
+ *
+ * Some KParts applications won't be specific to a given part, but expect
+ * to be able to embed, for instance, all types of viewers out there. For this
+ * the basic functionality of any viewer has been implemented in 
+ * KParts::ReadOnlyPart, which viewer-like parts should inherit from.
+ * The same applies to KParts::ReadWritePart, which is for editor-like parts.
+ *
+ * You can add actions to an existing KParts app from "outside", defining
+ * the code for those actions in a shared library. This mechanism is
+ * obviously called plugins, and implemented by KParts::Plugin.
+ *
+ * For a complete, and very simple, example of how to use KParts to display
+ * any kind of file (i.e. making a generic viewer), see the docu for
+ * KParts::ComponentFactory::createPartInstanceFromQuery()
