/**

 This class allows to build menu entries that will be dynamically added either to
 the K-menu, or to the panel as a normal button. These dynamic menus are located
 in shared libraries that will be loaded at runtime by Kicker (the %TDE panel).
 To build such a menu, you have to inherit this class and implement the pure virtual
 functions #initialize() and slotExec(). You also have to provide a factory
 object in your library, see KLibFactory. This factory is only used to construct
 the menu object.
 Finally, you also have to provide a desktop file describing your dynamic menu. The
 relevant entries are: Name, Comment, Icon and X-TDE-Library (which contains the
 library name without any extension). This desktop file has to be installed in
 $TDEDIR/share/apps/kicker/menuext/.
