Hello Jonathan,

thanks for "ping-ing", as it is very easy too miss reviews. I checked the KDE HIG, and I would say your change is appropriate. From http://techbase.kde.org/Projects/Usability/HIG#Selection :
 - Use radio buttons for selection of 1 out of a few items.   <<< Current solution
 - Use a list view to select 1 singular item out of a potentially big list.   <<< proposed solution


I had not yet tested it, but is it still scrollable? This is required, as some cards have 30 or even 50 controls.
