/**
 * Displays messages in the window icon and title. The message is usually
 * transient with the original title and icon being restored automatically
 * after a specified time. The simplest use displays a text message in the
 * window title:
 * \code
 *    KWindowInfo::showMessage( this, i18n("Message Body") );
 * \endcode
 * This more complex example changes the window icon, as well as
 * displaying the text. In addition, this example overrides the
 * default timeout to ensure the message is only displayed for 1
 * second.
 * \code
 *    TQPixmap px;
 *    px.load( "lo16-app-logtracker.png" );
 *    KWindowInfo::showMessage( this, i18n("Message Body"), px, 1000 );
 * \endcode
 * If the parent window inherits KSystemTray then KWindowInfo changes the
 * pixmap and tooltip of the system window to display the message.
