It is exactly this kind of idiocies that I hope to remove from the
legacy KVIrc code. Lots of things were done in non-standard ways
(partly, I suppose, because Qt and KDE were not really quite usable yet
in those days). Hopefully, the upcoming 2.1.3 release will be cleaner
and more easy to use, and more in line with the KDE usability guidelines.
