Simplest example:

The pattern continues like that, for all members of the KFileDialog class. Out 
of all the public and static public members listed in the api docs for that 
class, only KFileDialog.show() existed. I tried a few other KFile classes, 
KFileDetailView, KFileIconView, etc, with similar results.
