- -- KListView --

KListView is a bit of a mess, but well, QListView is very possibly worse.  
Both really need a rewrite and I keep hearing rumors that QListView is 
getting such and have been holding off of ripping into KListView for that 
reason.

When we start heading for KDE 4 in earnest (i.e. when the Qt 4 snapshot shows 
up at some point) I'll start looking into an appropriate overhaul (since I've 
probably done the most KListView work in the last year or so...)

I'm also looking forward to seeing the QListView replacement for Qt 4 and 
hoping that some of the broken assumptions of the current version are gone.

As for a "stuff we should fix document" -- if nobody objects to me just adding 
a plain text TODO to the kdelibs root dir I'll add one later this week...
