tdecmodulemenu - Class that reads in a freedesktop.org .menu file into a QValueList.
kcmultiwidget - A basterdized kcmultidialog from tdelibs/kutil that provides info about the current shown dialog so the about dialog and caption can be updated and prompts for unsaved changes.
-- INSTALL --
To install a new menu you have to install three files.
(if you have debian, if you have another system use locate to determine where tde-system.* is installed and install in the same place.
-/etc/xdg/menus/system-settings.menu
-/etc/xdg/menus/applications-merged/system-settings-merge.menu
-/usr/share/desktop-directories/system-settings.directory
Also don't forget to install the ui file.
-/share/apps/systemsettings/systempreferencesui.rc
And the desktop file.
-share/applications/tde/systemsettings.desktop
When you change (or install) any of the first three files make sure to run kbuildsycoca to re-generate the cache files or log out and back in.
