Description George Staikos 2004-02-05 14:03:08 UTC

If a plugin is removed and reloaded while the plugin dialog is open, the 
dialog needs to trigger a UI reconstruction because the interface for the 
plugin (the inputs and outputs) may have changed.

More complicated than originally thought.  The KstPlugin retains its pointer to the old plugin on rescan or install/remove.  This needs to be updated also, to close the old library, reparse and pass in the new XML data, etc.

CVS commit by staikos: 

- parent the dialogs so they don't fall behind
- finally fix the very nasty-to-fix bug where reloading plugins didn't reload
the UI
