| | Coding with KParts |
 | | The K Desktop Environment, or KDE, is an easy-to-use, open source, graphical environment for Linux/UNIX, available with all Linux distributions. |
 | | But even when a component is used only in a single application, the high degree of modularization given by a component architecture makes it easier to work in parallel, and to make sure that the introduction of new features doesn't introduce regressions (for example, the new feature doesn't break the existing features). |
 | | It can be graphical, however, like a dialog box or a separate window popping up, or it can be an application-specific plug-in and act on the application itself, such as a spell checker for a word processor, for example. |
