Oh, btw, I forgot to mention this, but if you're going to be working
on man pages for kde programs, don't forget to look at the script
kdemangen.pl in kdesdk/scripts.  It can generate a pretty nice man
page from the app's --help, --about, --help-kde and other output.  It
only works for apps using KCmdLineArgs, but that should cover most kde
apps.
