Huho, a discussion on coding style, we can hear the bikeshed coming...
I recommend adopting the kdelibs coding style (which is quite close to the Qt coding style
but a bit more adapted to opensource development), which is a much better idea
than debating over N different coding styles that nobody will ever agree upon.
By choosing the kdelibs style you also make it easier for kde developers to switch
between "coding in kdelibs" and "coding in kdepim" (and any other module that adopts the same style).
