/**
 * @short A dialog-like popup that displays messages without interupting the user.
 *
 * The simplest uses of KPassivePopup are by using the various message() static
 * methods. The position the popup appears at depends on the type of the parent window:
 *
 * @li Normal Windows: The popup is placed adjacent to the icon of the window.
 * @li System Tray Windows: The popup is placed adjact to the system tray window itself.
 * @li Skip Taskbar Windows: The popup is placed adjact to the window
 *     itself if it is visible, and at the edge of the desktop otherwise.
 *
 * You also have the option of calling show with a QPoint as a parameter that
 * removes the automatic placing of KPassivePopup and shows it in the point you want.
 *
 * The most basic use of KPassivePopup displays a popup containing a piece of text:
 * \code
 *    KPassivePopup::message( "This is the message", this );
 * \endcode
 * We can create popups with titles and icons too, as this example shows:
 * \code
 *    QPixmap px;
 *    px.load( "hi32-app-logtracker.png" );
 *    KPassivePopup::message( "Some title", "This is the main text", px, this );
 * \endcode
 * For more control over the popup, you can use the setView(QWidget *) method
 * to create a custom popup.
 * \code
 *    KPassivePopup *pop = new KPassivePopup( parent );
 *
 *    QVBox *vb = new QVBox( pop );
 *    (void) new QLabel( vb, "<b>Isn't this great?</b>" );
 *
 *    QHBox *box = new QHBox( vb );
 *    (void) new QPushButton( box, "Yes" );
 *    (void) new QPushButton( box, "No" );
 *
 *    pop->setView( vb );
 *    pop->show();
 * \endcode
