I'll have a look. Does the branch currently compile? If not, I'll try to come 
up with a "get this beast to build" patch for that too, it shouldn't take 
longer than for the one from the trunk, hopefully.

I'm using a K3ListView, which works just like KListView worked.

We should really not be using either Q3ListView or K3ListView, but something 
like KListWidget/QListWidget or even the new MVC-based QListView.

Don't worry, I'm serious when I say I'm willing to help you out with that. The 
problem is that it's kinda hard to predict the future. ;-) I think I will 
have some time for this, but I don't know what other stuff to do will come 
up.

(BTW, somehow your replies don't show up in the bug report's audit trail, 
despite your CC:153463 bugs kde org )
