I finally implemented version 1), because of the smaller size and the fact that
you don't always need to have the "Copies" page available. I also implemented
a "show/hide" mechanism to get even a more compact dialog. This results in
the following screenies:

http://www.geocities.com/kdeprint/normal.png

The default state is reduced, except for "kprinter" where you must show at
least once to the user where to select files. After first opening of the
dialog, the previous state is remembered on a per-app basis.

Bye.
Michael.
