+/**
+ * @ingroup main
+ * @ingroup plugin
+ * @short A widget to select what plugins to load and configure the plugins.
+ *
+ * It shows the list of available plugins on top (if there's more than one
+ * category this is a TabWidget) and the configuration of the selected plugin
+ * below that.
+ *
+ * Since the user needs a way to know what a specific plugin does every plugin
+ * sould install a desktop file containing a name, comment and category field.
+ * The category is usefull for applications that can use different kinds of
+ * plugins like a playlist, skin or visualization.
+ *
+ * The location of these desktop files is the
+ * share/apps/&lt;instancename&gt;/&lt;plugindir&gt; directory. But if you need
+ * you may use a different directory.
+ *
+ * Often a program has more than one kind of plugin. In that case you want to
+ * make a visible distinction between those plugins. All you have to do is to
+ * create a KPluginSelectionWidget for every category and then add them all
+ * to the KPluginSelector.
