/**
* Controls and provides information to all KDE applications.
*
* Only one object of this class can be instantiated in a single app.
* This instance is always accessible via the 'kapp' global variable.
* See cut() for an example.
*
* This class provides the following services to all KDE applications.
*
* @li It controls the event queue (see TQApplication ).
* @li It provides the application with KDE resources such as
* accelerators, common menu entries, a KConfig object. session
* management events, help invocation etc.
* @li Installs a signal handler for the SIGCHLD signal in order to
* avoid zombie children. If you want to catch this signal yourself or
* don't want it to be caught at all, you have set a new signal handler
* (or SIG_IGN) after KApplication's constructor has run.
* @li Installs an empty signal handler for the SIGPIPE signal using
* installSigpipeHandler(). If you want to catch this signal
* yourself, you have set a new signal handler after KApplication's
* constructor has run.
* @li It can start new services
*
*
* The way a service gets started depends on the 'X-DCOP-ServiceType'
* entry in the desktop file of the service:
*
* There are three possibilities:
* @li X-DCOP-ServiceType=None (default)
*    Always start a new service,
*    don't wait till the service registers with dcop.
* @li X-DCOP-ServiceType=Multi
*    Always start a new service,
*    wait until the service has registered with dcop.
* @li X-DCOP-ServiceType=Unique
*    Only start the service if it isn't already running,
*    wait until the service has registered with dcop.
*
* @short Controls and provides information to all KDE applications.

      Session management asks you to save the state of your application.

     This signal is provided for compatibility only. For new
     applications, simply use KMainWindow. By reimplementing 
     KMainWindow::queryClose(), KMainWindow::saveProperties() and
 KMainWindow::readProperties() you can simply handle session
     management for applications with multiple toplevel windows.

     For purposes without KMainWindow, create an instance of
     KSessionManaged and reimplement the functions 
     KSessionManaged::commitData() and/or 
     KSessionManaged::saveState()

     If you still want to use this signal, here is what you should do:

     Connect to this signal in order to save your data. Do NOT
     manipulate the UI in that slot, it is blocked by the session
     manager.

     Use the sessionConfig() KConfig object to store all your
     instance specific data.

     Do not do any closing at this point! The user may still select
     Cancel  wanting to continue working with your
     application. Cleanups could be done after shutDown() (see
     the following).
