+ *  as far as possible. It blocks execution if shell access is prohibited. It buffers
+ *  data written to the process's stdin.
+ *
+ *  Before executing any command, ShellProcess checks whether shell commands are
+ *  allowed at all. If not (e.g. if the user is running in kiosk mode), it blocks
+ *  execution.
+ *
+ *  Derived from KShellProcess, this class additionally tries to interpret the shell
+ *  exit status. Different shells use different exit codes. Currently, if bash or ksh
+ *  report that the command could not be found or could not be executed, the NOT_FOUND
+ *  status is returned.
+ *
+ *  Writes to the process's stdin are buffered, so that unlike with KShellProcess, there
+ *  is no need to wait for the write to complete before writing again.

+/**
+ *  @short Spin box with a pair of spin buttons on either side.
+ *
+ *  The SpinBox2 class provides a spin box with two pairs of spin buttons, one on either side.
+ *
+ *  It is designed as a base class for implementing such facilities as time spin boxes, where
+ *  the hours and minutes values are separately displayed in the edit field. When the
+ *  appropriate step increments are configured, the left spin arrows can then be used to
+ *  change the hours value, while the right spin arrows can be used to change the minutes
+ *  value.
+ *
+ *  Rather than using SpinBox2 directly for time entry, use in preference TimeSpinBox or
+ *  TimeEdit classes which are tailored from SpinBox2 for this purpose.
+ *
+ *  Separate step increments may optionally be specified for use when the shift key is
+ *  held down. Typically these would be larger than the normal steps. Then, when the user
+ *  clicks the spin buttons, he/she can increment or decrement the value faster by holding
+ *  the shift key down.
+ *
+ *  The widget may be set as read-only. This has the same effect as disabling it, except
+ *  that its appearance is unchanged.
+ *
+ *  @author David Jarvie <software@astrojar.org.uk>
