looks very interesting.

i haven't looked at the code yet, but from the screenshots here are things 
that jumped out at me:

* instead of "Freeze sort" perhaps just "Sort" and reverse the logic of the 
checkbox

* is there any particular reason why the global settings are global instead of 
local?

* "show subdomain levels" could be done with a single spinbox and a special 
value (which is what shows when the value of a spinbox is the minimum) of 
"All"

* "Show one per row" -> is that essentially grouping?

* any particular reason the column sorting couldn't happen by just right 
clicking on the table headers as usual?

* Search boxes are usually[1] in the upper right corner, and with 
setClickMessage you can put the string "Search" right inside the searchbox 
itself. (a little less clutter :)

i suppose you've published this on kde-look.org?

[1] (though admitedly not always; something else i need to fix up in the Add 
Widgets interface)
