* The KDCOPPropertyProxy class provides an easy way to publish Qt properties of a

* The class provides DCOP equivalents for the Qt property methods setProperty() ,
* property() and propertyNames() and also provides automatic set/get methods for
* the properties of a TQObject. That means for example if your object provides a
* TQString property called foo , then KDCOPPropertyProxy translates DCOP calls
* "setFoo( TQString )" and "TQString foo()" automatically into the corresponding
* setProperty/property calls.
