>     - default should have a name: Well, there are both a "Standard" and a "Default" paragraph style. There is also a "" one which is selected at the begining. When you had your "non-visible" char patch applied, "Standard" was selected in the comboBox, as it is the style the template specifies for the blank document. I think this problem is outside the scope of the combo. Also when the "Special button" was used, nothing was selected ti start with.
>     - launching style manager: Indeed it doesn't, but in order to do that some changes are needed in the styleManager. I didn't want to start with this one on top of the comboBox. I was planning on working on the styleManager soon. There is also a StylesWidget in it, that needs replacing with a QListView, so we can get rid of the StylesWidget altogether.
>     - combo popup: i wondered about that one too. shouldn't be too hard i guess. (like emit the signal in the StylesComboPreview, and connect it in the StylesCombo).

I actually doubt we would be able to cut this branch in 2-3 self contained (ie compilable and runnable) commits without quite a tiresome "git add --interactive" exercise. Everything is intertwined. I have made sure the branch compiles and run without major problems. I think a complete merge is the safest thing to do.

the fixes are committed to the branch, and ye s i agree some are outside the scope, but i wanted to list them anyway.

ok complete merge it is then

> The branch provides a replacement for the style selection widgets. The new provided widgets are a subclass of QComboBox.
> They provide a style preview both in the main area and in the dropdown menu.
> The dropdown menu provides a "show style manager" button, which call the whole style management dialog.
> The dropdown also provides a "delete style" button, although this is for the moment disabled/commented out, because deleting a style is not currently really supported.
> The combo also allows to create a style based on the current text format if it does not correspond to the original style (ie. the user changed a property).
