+Most PyKDE applications will need a main window - the is the top
+level widget (the parent for all other widgets). KMainWindow has
+more functionality than shown here (see more complex templates).
+It has the ability to create the other major parts of the user
+interface - the main view, menus, toolbars, etc.
+
+Usually you provide a subclass of KMainWindow, construct menus
+and toolbars in the subclass' __init__ method, and provide
+slots for menu/toolbar actions in separate methods.
