Hi Thomas

Yes, I noticed!  I'm still working on my original problem.  It's been 
slow work, but I think I'm making progress.  I have the 
KCategoryReassignDlg working pretty well, in that it's not possible for 
the drop-down to part company if the dialog is moved, although whether 
or not my approach is ideal remains to be seen.  I'm now looking at the 
same problem with the import account selector.

Then I'll look at this completion issue.

Thanks

Allan
