32 * description, see kdelibs/kdecore/README.kstartupinfo.
33 *
34 * You usually don't need to use this class for sending the notification

37 *
38 * For receiving the startup notification info, create an instance and connect
39 * to its slots. It will automatically detect started applications and when
40 * they are ready.
