I don't exactly remember who requested them, but the reasoning iirc was 
"sometimes i want to see full names and emails in one tree, and because 
both of them scale by the same amount i'm often left with a huge window 
with one completely unused tree and other barely fitting the 
informations i wanted", hence the splitters.

Well, "this is rather crappy" is obviously my comment and it's there 
because _this_ was the interim solution. Tobias was supposed to export 
the addressee editing widget from kaddressbook, but i guess didn't have 
enough time to do it. So I don't know, I mean my view of that code is 
pretty obvious from looking at the comment. I like the functionality, I 
don't like the code - that's my opinion as a codemonkey (good looking 
one though).

ack.

Tobias, also one more comment : do not remove the initConnections 
function. Why did you do it anyway?  I don't like when people do fifty 
different things in constructors especially if the class is a part of a 
library, because later if you want to add another constructor while 
keeping bc you're forced to export most of it to a common 
initialization method or duplicate 90% of the code.
