It's in-between read-only and editable. The initial list only contains 
phone numbers taken from the addressbook. On top of that I want to put 
a list of recently used numbers, set off by a separator. A recently 
used number can either be one chosen from the list by the user or one 
entered explicitly. Recent numbers should not be handled by the 
ComboBox, I'll do that myself. Thus, the ComboBox has a NoInsertion 
policy. Also, it should obviously not be possibly to select the 
separator.

I'm surprised that I can't just call comboBox->insertSeparator(). Does 
it conflict with any GUI style guide?
