/**
 * Top level widget that provides toolbars, a status line and a frame.
 * It should be used as a toplevel (parent-less) widget and
 * manages the geometry for all its children, including your
 * main widget.
 *
 * Normally, you will inherit from KTMainWindow (known also as KTMW).
 * Then you must construct (or use some existing) widget that will be
 * your main view. You can set only one main view.
 *
 * You can add as many toolbar(s) as you like. There can be only one menubar
 * and only one statusbar.
 *
 * Toolbars, Menubar, and Statusbar can be generated by the KTMainWindow and - unlike
 * old KTopLevelWidget - may, but do not have to be deleted by you. KTMainWindow will
 * handle that internaly.
 *
 * KTMainWindow maintaines the layout and resizing of all elements
 * (toolbars, statusbar, main widget, etc).  KTMainWindow now handles fixed-size
 * and Y-fixed main views properly. Just set fixed size or
 * your main view. You can change it runtime, the changes will take effect
 * on next updateRects call. Do not set fixed size on window! You may set
 * minimum or maximum size on window, but only if main view is freely
 * resizable. Minimum width can also be set if main view is Y-fixed.
 *
 * KTMainWindow will set icon, mini icon and caption, which it gets
 * from KApplication. It provides full session management, and will save
 * its position, geometry and positions of toolbar(s) and menubar on
 * logout. If you want to save aditional data, overload saveProperties and
 * (to read them again on next login) readProperties. To save special
 * data about your data, overload saveData. To warn user
 * that application has unsaved data on logout, use setUnsavedData.
 *
 * There is also a macro RESTORE which can restore all your windows
 * on next login.
 *
 * This class is now merged with KTopLevelWidget (KTW). Biggest difference
 * is that KTMainWindow implements closeEvent and calls needed functios
 * in case when window is closed. By overloading these (virtual)
 * functions, you controll what happens in these cases.
 *
 * KTMainWindow might be replaced/extended in the future to
 * KMainWindow which will be a child of QMainWindow. Anyway,
 * the current interface  will be supported for compatibility
 * reasons.
