/**
 * This class implements a dialog containing several preference pages.
 * 
 * To append your own page you just have to take note of these points:
 *
 * \li Each preference page can be created by the Qt Designer selecting the "Widget" item
 * in the project dialog.
 *
 * \li To save or load the widgets' settings automatically (e.g. combo boxes, line edits, 
 * check boxes, ...) you can make use of the classes inherited from @ref PrefWidget such as:
 * PrefSpinBox, PrefLineEdit, PrefComboBox, PrefListBox, PrefCheckBox, PrefRadioButton and
 * PrefSlider. If you have compiled and installed the library under src/Tools/plugins/widgets
 * to QTDIR/plugins/designer you should see the new category "Preferences". 
 * Moreover you have to make sure to have specified the "prefEntry" and "prefPath" properties for each 
 * preference widget you have used inside your form in Qt Designer.
 *
 * \li For each widget inside your page - you want to save or load - you have to call 
 * \<objectname\>->onSave() or \<objectname\>->onRestore(). The best way to this is either to 
 * define the protected slots saveSettings() and loadSettings() in your form and overwrite
 * them in a subclass or define these slots in this subclass diretly. 
 *
 * See the example below for more details:
 *
 * \code
 *  // This class was created by Qt's uic tool 
 *  class MyPrefPage : public QWidget
 *  {
 *  public:
 *    MyPrefPage( QWidget* parent = 0, const char* name = 0, WFlags fl = 0 )
 *    {
 *      myLineEdit->setProperty( "prefEntry", "lineedit" );
 *      myLineEdit->setProperty( "prefPath", "GroupName" );
 *      myCheckBox->setProperty( "prefEntry", "checkbox" );
 *      myCheckBox->setProperty( "prefPath", "GroupName" );
 *      ...
 *    }
 *
 *    PrefLineEdit* myLineEdit;
 *    PrefCheckBox* myCheckBox;
 * };
 * \endcode
 * In the derived class you just have to implement the methods saveSettings() and loadSettings()
 * in the following way:.
 * \code
 *  class MyPrefPageImp : public MyPrefPage
 *  {
 *  public:
 *    MyPrefPageImp( QWidget* parent = 0, const char* name = 0, WFlags fl = 0 )
 *    {
 *    }
 *  protected Q_SLOTS:
 *    void saveSettings()
 *    {
 *      myLineEdit->onSave();
 *      myCheckBox->onSave();
 *    }
 *    void loadSettings();
 *    {
 *      myLineEdit->onRestore();
 *      myCheckBox->onRestore();
 *    }
 * };
 * \endcode
 *
 * \li Now you have to make the widget factory to know your class by adding the line
 * new PrefPageProducer<MyPrefPageImp> (QT_TR_NOOP("My category"));
 *
 * \see PrefWidget
