Review request for KDEPIM.


Description
-------

The main point raised by the addressed bug is the amount of screen space taken up by the KAddressBook GUI compared with the amount of useful contact information (the details pane).

This change implements a viewing mode halfway between the simple mode (which has the disadvantage that the list of contacts is not shown and so cannot be browsed by scrolling) and the 3-column full mode (which, unless the user has many address books, has a big blank space below the address book list).  This is done by simply putting the contacts list below the address book list.

A new "View" menu is added to select one of the three viewing modes, and also the "Show QR Codes" option.

The splitter sizes and positions are saved separately for the 2-column and 3-column modes.


This addresses bug 291263.
