	* PublishedObject* publishedobject = new PublishedObject();
	* manager->publishObject(publishedobject);
	*
	* // ... here we are able to use manager->createAction() to
	* // create Action instances on the fly and work with them.
	*
	* // Finally free the publishedobject instance we created. We
	* // need to free it manualy cause PublishedObject doesn't
	* // got a TQObject tqparent as argument.
	* delete publishedobject;
