/**
 * @short A widget to provide feedback or propose opportunistic interactions.
 *
 * KMessageWidget can be used to provide inline positive or negative
 * feedback, or to implement opportunistic interactions.
 *
 * As a feedback widget, KMessageWidget provides a less intrusive alternative
 * to "OK Only" message boxes. If you want to avoid a modal KMessageBox,
 * consider using KMessageWidget instead.
 *
 * Examples of KMessageWidget look as follows, all of them having an icon set
 * with setIcon(), and the first three show a close button:
 *
 * \image html kmessagewidget.png "KMessageWidget with different message types"
 *
 * <b>Negative feedback</b>
 *
 * The KMessageWidget can be used as a secondary indicator of failure: the
 * first indicator is usually the fact the action the user expected to happen
 * did not happen.
 *
 * Example: User fills a form, clicks "Submit".
 *
 * @li Expected feedback: form closes
 * @li First indicator of failure: form stays there
 * @li Second indicator of failure: a KMessageWidget appears on top of the
 * form, explaining the error condition
 *
 * When used to provide negative feedback, KMessageWidget should be placed
 * close to its context. In the case of a form, it should appear on top of the
 * form entries.
 *
 * KMessageWidget should get inserted in the existing layout. Space should not
 * be reserved for it, otherwise it becomes "dead space", ignored by the user.
 * KMessageWidget should also not appear as an overlay to prevent blocking
 * access to elements the user needs to interact with to fix the failure.
 *
 * <b>Positive feedback</b>
 *
 * KMessageWidget can be used for positive feedback but it shouldn't be
 * overused. It is often enough to provide feedback by simply showing the
 * results of an action.
 *
 * Examples of acceptable uses:
 *
 * @li Confirm success of "critical" transactions
 * @li Indicate completion of background tasks
 *
 * Example of unadapted uses:
 *
 * @li Indicate successful saving of a file
 * @li Indicate a file has been successfully removed
 *
 * <b>Opportunistic interaction</b>
 *
 * Opportunistic interaction is the situation where the application suggests to
 * the user an action he could be interested in perform, either based on an
 * action the user just triggered or an event which the application noticed.
 *
 * Example of acceptable uses:
 *
 * @li A browser can propose remembering a recently entered password
 * @li A music collection can propose ripping a CD which just got inserted
 * @li A chat application may notify the user a "special friend" just connected
