+ * works as follows:
+ * In your xxxui.rc file ( the one that you set in setXMLFile()
+ * ), you put an <p>\<ActionList name="xxx"\></p> tag. E.g.
+ * \verbatim

+ * ...
+ * </MenuBar>
+ * </kpartgui>

+ * This tag will get expanded to a list of actions. In the example

+ * \code
+ * QPtrList<KAction> file_actions;
+ * for( ... )
+ * if( ... )
+ * file_actions.append( cool_action );
+ * unplugActionList( "xxx_file_actionlist" );
+ * plugActionList( "xxx_file_actionlist", file_actions );
+ * \endcode
+ * every time a file is selected, unselected or ...
+ *
+ * \note You should not call createGUI() after calling this
+ * function. In fact, that would remove the newly added
+ * actionlists again...
+ * \note Forgetting to call unplugActionList() before
+ * plugActionList() would leave the previous actions in the
