Definitively not a grid layout.
In a grid layout you insert item at a certain position on the grid (you give 
the col and the row number, and eventually the item can take several position 
of the grid)
But for this feature, you just insert items in the list, this is exactly the 
way box layouts works.

I originaly wanted to subclass the BoxLayout for this feature, but it would 
just have created more code duplication.

Euh...   difficult to say without reading your mind :-)

Ah yes, that should be fixed.   Anyway, if this happen, that mean you have so 
much task that the width of the entry is very small and only the first letter 
can be read

Not necesserly.   This would work fine with vertical panel also.  (But instead 
of taking severals rows, it will take several columns.



Btw, what's the status of libplasma regarding binary compatibility?
