[Fwd: Re: [Bug 164805] Multiple columns in kick off]

[Luiz Felipe Talvik]

What does it make it "not complete":
-the items paint text outside the defined area
-keyboard navigation left/right
-multiple columns on the apps tab
    I don't understand one line of code that does this tab
-columns threshold based on the font size(currently fixed width)

For those that discussed the previous patch(Aaron), I changed the
behavior of the layout to something similar to gridlayout per section.
The previous was section per column, which became extremely complex.
(Before I could complete the patch I had some problems and them forgot
about it)

Why kickoff implements all the layout spacing, margins, placing
items...? Why doesn't it use something like VBoxLayout? Is there are
reason I can't change to a grid layout?
d, q objects and a private class is present in almost all classes from
Robert Knight, is this a common practice where can I read about it?
