[Kst] [Kst-plot/kst] 56c1c4: Improve the multiple vector view:

[Barth Netterfield]

Looks good.

A couple minor comments I don't have solutions for:
  -It does not handle fields with different numbers of samples per frame (that 
is, it ignores the possibility.) 

If you list the x vector of some curve (at 1 sample per frame) and the  vector 
from the same curve (at 2 samples/frame) you might want to have the spacing 
different...  Maybe something like:

1  1
    2
2  3
    4
3  5
    6
4  7   

On the other hand, if you list the Y output vector from a histogram, and the 
vector that went into the histogram, there is no reason to associate one with 
the other, so... ?

All this being said, I think that the first sample should line up with the first 
sample, and the last sample with the last sample, and all the samples in 
between should just land where they land (which may be with different spacing.)

Not sure how possible this is.

  -vector selection, while compact, is non intuitive (though for a long time, 
we did have combo selectors like this).

Slightly slower to use, but easier to understand might be to put a + icon to 
the right of the selector,
eg

|vectorname (V4)| [+]

and have that button add the vector, and not selection.

Thoughts?
