I don't think SqueezedComboBox is needed anymore with Qt4 at all, given that 
QAbstractItemView has a textElideMode property that allows specifying the 
position of the '...' in text (left, right, middle) and passes that on to the 
item delegate. So that not only avoids duplicating the entire contents (in 
strings) of the combobox but it also works across all item view widgets.
