Hmm I think Simon's point was that we don't really need a KStringDataListModel class
when the applications can just use QStandardItemModel directly. But I lack experience
with either one to see if the application code would look pretty much fine in both cases, or
very ugly with the latter and very nice with the former, which would be a reason to have
a custom class indeed.
However I see that your model also provides moveUp/moveDown, which is probably not so 
obvious to write when using QStandardItemModel directly in the app code.
Simon, do you agree that this makes a good reason for having the class in kdelibs?
There are many widgets/dialogs that have moveup/movedown functionality, like kedittoolbar etc.
