> The IM address editor within kaddressbook does not look good visually (see attached screenshot 1) and also does not work intuitively when adding a new address (see the referenced bug).  The double-click-to-edit interaction is not used anywhere else within the kaddressbook GUI, and in particular is inconsistent with the email address editor just a few fields away.

> This change handles the editing or adding addresses in a new popup dialogue, with a combo box for the protocol and a line edit for the address.  This does involve an additional dialogue box, but actually requires fewer mouse clicks in total to change or add a new address.  The combo box comes out at a suitable size to list all of the protocols without truncation.  See attached screenshots 2 and 3.
