Hello all,

I made a new widget and would like to add it kdelibs/kdeui.  This is widget is
meant to be a drop in replacement for QComboBox with the following
enhancement:

* Support for the four types of completion modes defined in kglobal.h by
making use of KCompletion.  See kdelibs/kdecore/kcompletion.h as well.

* Configurable key-binding support for the completion modes above.  It can use
the global configurations or locally defined ones...

* Configurable context menu ( the deafult includes things like
cut,copy, paste ...).  Also has an item that can be enabled/disabled by the
programmer which allows the user to change the completion mode on the fly.

* Ability to automatically select items in the list box if the
combo box is no editable. ( TODO : not yet )

* Other minor convienece methods to make life a bit easier... :))

* and most of all drop in replacement for QComboBox.

BTW,  KLineEdit has also been re-designed to support completion through
KCompletion (excellent work by Carsten) and have configurable key-bindings
for the completion and rotation features.

Regards,
Dawit A.
