so, it would be possible to have a;
  void KComboBox::addItems(QList<KLocalizedString>, Sorting sorting=Unsorted);
and a signal:
  void KComboBox::activatedKey(const QString &key);
assuming we add a key() method on the KLocalizedString which returns a 
QString...

I'm not sure the sorting will be used a lot, but the rest would certainly be 
useful :)
