[Sugar-devel] [Karma] updating jsdoc for Karma

[Felipe López Toledo]

I have been figuring how to produce the full jsdoc documentation, but I
haven't had any luck, I have tried with @memberOf, @lends, @nameOf, and so
on...

yes, Karma is a separated class that initializes i18n, graphics, etc stuff

 the unique relation that has Karma with KImage, KSound, KSurface is the
shortcuts functions (for image, sound, surface).
The shortcuts are factory-functions (avoid using new) and, if necessary they
supply some extra configuration, as an example for KSurface.

KImage, KSound, KSurface inherits from KObject.

yes,  KImage, KSound and so on has their own copy of KObject, also they have
their own copy of KMedia.

yes, I think it's possible but the prototypal inheritance doesn't support
multiple inheritance.
Actually we don't use it, but when I was designing the structure I thought
it would be useful.
