That is fine, but whatever you guys decide, please do not make any changes to 
the lineedit/combobox widgets without first letting us know. I am not 
subscribed to the usability lists. There are things I do not want to see 
changed in these widgets. See my reply to Aaron's suggestion.

No. These widgets are fundamental building blocks. They should never be 
encumbered with such unnecessary stuff. On the other hand applications can 
add such options if they choose to. The API for these widgets allows one to 
extend the popup menu as much as they like.
