You're about to start an eternal flame war, where everybody posts
his point of view on indenting ;-))
The general answer, though, is : whatever the application's author prefers.
That's the one and only rule.

When there are several people, they can agree on something, but it's impossible
to do KDE-wide.

This being said, I agree, tabs suck. :)
I would be happy with any decision for a standard indentation of 2,
3 or 4 spaces, so that I could set emacs to it once and for all.
Currently I have to adapt it to the file I'm working on... :)
But since this will never happen, I'll keep adapting ;-)
