Ok, I will come up with some more stuff for it sometime.  I actually
wanted to have whitespace between what the separator touches, to make
it not so cramped up, but I could not figure out how to do this. It is
using a grid layout, so I figured... logically, leaving 1 row empty
(adding the next widget after this "empty row") would leave a blank
line. Not the case for some reason.... I -also- figured that I could
just drop a QWidget in there, but that didn't work either... I have no
idea what it is I am doing wrong with this.

Does it? I don't like KDE3's look, but only tasted it for a little
while before diving into the irresistable 4.1. :)

In which case, I will come up with something better. I was afraid that
even if I did introduce more white space as a row(s), that the text
would still be difficult to quickly tell, that they are different
files.

I completely agree with you, it should be made more clear on what is
going on, etc.
