+/**
+ * @short %KDE Panel Extension class
+ *
+ * Panel extensions
+ * @li Are small applications living in the Window Manager dock managed by the panel.
+ * @li Are implemented as DSOs (Dynamic Shared Objects).
+ *
+ * Note: For security and stability reasons the panel won't load
+ * untrusted third party extensions directly into its namespace but via an
+ * external wrapper process.
+ *
+ * The panel locates available extensions by searching for extension desktop
+ * files in (ALL_KDEDIRS)/share/apps/kicker/extensions. Every panel extension should
+ * install a desktop file there to be recognized by the panel.
+ *
+ * Besides standard keys like "Name", "Comment" and "Icon" there are
+ * two panel extension specific keys:
+ *
+ * \b X-KDE-Library \n
+ *
+ * Used by the panel to locate the extension DSO (Dynamic Shared Object)
+ * Example: X-KDE-Library=libexampleextension
+ *
+ * \b X-KDE-UniqueExtension \n
+ *
+ * Similar to KApplication and KUniqueApplication there are
+ * two types of panel extensions. Use unique extensions when it makes no
+ * sence to run more than one instance of an extension in the panel. A
+ * good example for unique extensions is the taskbar extension. Use normal
+ * extensions when you need instance specific configuration. An example
+ * is a subpanel extension where you might want to run more than one instances.
+ * X-KDE-UniqueExtension is a boolean key which defaults
+ * to "false". Example: X-KDE-UniqueExtension=true
+ *
+ * Back to panel extension DSOs, the following conventions are used for KDE:
+ * Name: lib<extensionname>extension.la
+ * LDFLAGS: -module -no-undefined
+ *
+ * To implement a panel extension it is not enough to write a class
+ * inheriting from KPanelExtension but you also have to provide a
+ * factory function in your DSO. A sample factory function could look
+ * like this:
+ *
+ * \code
+ *
+ * extern "C"
+ * {
+ * KPanelExtension* init(TQWidget *parent, const TQString& configFile)
+ * {
+ * KGlobal::locale()->insertCatalogue("exampleextension");
+ * return new ExampleExtension(configFile, KPanelExtension::Normal,
+ * KPanelExtension::About | KPanelExtension::Help | KPanelExtension::Preferences,
+ * parent, "exampleextension");
+ * }
+ * }
+ *
+ * \endcode
+ *
+ * Note: Don't change the factory function signature or the panel will
+ * fail to load your extension.
+ *
