NAME

       UI::Dialog::Backend::KDialog - backend for the KDE dialog variant.

SYNOPSIS

         use UI::Dialog::Backend::KDialog;
         my $d = new UI::Dialog::Backend::KDialog ( backtitle => 'Demo',
                                                    title => 'Default' );

         $d->msgbox( title => 'Welcome!', text => 'Welcome one and all!' );

ABSTRACT

       UI::Dialog::Backend::KDialog is the UI::Dialog backend for the KDE dialog variant. While
       this module is used through UI::Dialog or any other loader module only the compatible
       methods are ever accessible. However, when using this module directly in your application
       (as in the SYNOPSIS example) you are given access to all the options and features of the
       real kdialog(1) application.

DESCRIPTION

       Although this dialog variant doesn't have any progress meters, it does have the benefits
       of many different file/uri/directory widgets. It's a shame that this is the only dialog
       variant for KDE.

CONSTRUCTOR

   new( @options )
       EXAMPLE
            my $d = new( title => 'Default Title', backtitle => 'Backtitle',
                         width => 65, height => 20, listheight => 5 );

       DESCRIPTION
                 This is the Class Constructor method. It accepts a list of key => value pairs
                 and uses them as the defaults when interacting with the various widgets.

       RETURNS
                 A blessed object reference of the UI::Dialog::Backend::KDialog class.

       OPTIONS
           The (...)'s after each option indicate the default for the option. An * denotes
           support by all the widget methods on a per-use policy defaulting to the values decided
           during object creation.
