+ ktgk-qt3 - allows to use TDE dialogs in Gtk apps
+
+This is an LD_PRELOAD hack that allows most GTK
+applications to use Trinity's file dialogs when run under TDE.
+
+It overrides the gtk file chooser functions to communicate
+with this TDE module/application.
+
+kgtk-qt3 is composed of the following pieces:
+
+1. An application called kdialogd.
+2. LD_PRELOAD libraries that are used to override the Gtk2 and TQt3 file dialogs.
+
+Start an application using the following command to use the functionality:
+
+ kgtk-wrapper <application>
+
+kgtk-wrapper determines whether it is a Gtk2 or TQt3 application and then sets
+the LD_PRELOAD environment variable to point to the approriate kgtk library.
+When the application tries to open a file dialog, the kgtk library intercepts
+this and asks kdialogd to open a file dialog instead.
+There will only ever be one instance of kdialogd, and all apps communicate with the same
+instance - and it terminates itself 30 seconds after the last Gtk/TQt app has
+disconnected. This timeout can be changed by editing kdialogdrc and setting/changing
+
+ [General]
+ Timeout=10
