Moving 3 widgets to kdelibs.

[Tom Albers]

Hi,

I would like to suggest to move/copy a couple of widgets to kdelibs.

1. KDateEdit [1]
This class is also used by digiKam. The advantage of this class is that it 
gives a very user friendly way of navigating through dates, while collapsed 
it is only the normal height of a simple QLineEdit. 

2. KDateTimeEdit [2]
This is a simple extention i made to the above widget, which also includes the 
time. This widget is currently only used in digiKam, but might be usefull for 
other applications.

Remarks:
- for both two to work, kDatePickerPopup[3] class should be copied as well
- the existing kdatewidget [4] and kdatetimewidget [5] are slightly different 
and should stay around for applications needing them or developers who prefer 
those two.

3. SqueezedComboBox [6]
This is combobox which can hold large items. When an item is larger then the 
size of the combobox, the right part of the text is shown, prepended with ... 
The screenshot in the documentation makes it clearer I think. A tooltip is 
there to show the full text. When the combobox is resized the text 
automatically shrinks/grows. This widget is only used in digiKam atm, but I 
think other applications can use it. 

Remarks:
- SqueezedComboBoxTip [7] should be copied with it to provide the tooltips.

All widgets are documented and contain screenshots. I'm able to maintain the 
SqueezedComboBox if needed, the first one is not written by me and the second 
is to simple to need maintanance ;-)

The only 'problem' is that i'm not into qt4 at all at this moment and can not 
do the move/copy myself.  

Opinions?
