The original line is both correct and different in function from
your suggested rewrite. 'w.fileQuit' might actually do something
useful (like save files, cleanup, etc) in a real program.

No, there isn't (in PyKDE; it exists in KDE), because it causes
problems between the sip generated code and gcc 2.96 on
RH/Mandrake. (I'm not sure if qApp exists in PyQt either - I
believe it was gone last time I checked, but I could be wrong).

There is a static method KApplication.kApplication() that returns
the same pointer as kApp, as used in your example above.
