Fix arguments behavior & better help

Oliver Beard requested to merge work/olib/args into master

My hope is, these changes will support plasma-desktop#140.

treeview: Fix behaviour of selectMenuEntry

  • Previously, it would fail to search a menu for matching menu entries, meaning the app's second positional argument never worked.

main: Improve help for positional arguments

  • This makes usage much more obvious without having to look at the code:

    Usage: /home/oliver/kde/usr/bin/kmenuedit [options] [menu] [entry]

...

Arguments:
  menu                       Menu to select, e.g. "Education/Mathematics"
  entry                      Entry to select, e.g. "org.kde.dolphin.desktop"

    i.e., you no longer have to guess what format an entry should be!

Test with:

~/kde/usr/bin/kmenuedit "System" "org.kde.dolphin.desktop"

~/kde/usr/bin/kmenuedit "System/ScreenSavers"
