Or use KListView from kdeui which already provides categorizing - AFAIK.

That doesn't scale, how do you categorize this view-layout (I can come
up with more complex ones for sure):

---------------------------------------
|            |            |           |
|            |            |           |
|            |            |           |
|            |            |           |
|            |            |           |
--------------------------|           |
|                         |           |
|                         |           |
|                         |           |
|                         |           |
---------------------------------------

If we really want to categorize I think we need to give the views names
or numbers to properlz identify them.

Didn't you want it to be easy. This is rather complex to understand
IMHO. At least without reading some good documentation about this, and
you know how good we are at user-documentation ;)
