Yup. Don't forget, Apache has security hols as well, so we're not allowed
to complain to Bill that *his* web sever has security holes.

Um, I know enough about North American culture to know it's a Mafia TV
show, but there ends my exposure. OTOH, I've been reading the OpenBSD
comics (tonight, da script kitty sleeps wid' da fishes) so maybe that's
the issue.

The problem was fixed in pilot-link in january, but that hasn't percolated
down to RH 7.1 yes. So for now I'll leave it, and add a QValidator as
soong as I can figure out how.

Yoiks, I thought we were headed for the
two-listboxes-with-some-buttons-between style of configuration and
ditching the nifty-treeview. The thing is, there's an actual single widget
class ListCategorizer that does all the work, so there's no point at all
in having that .ui file, since the subclass of KDialogBase that we need
*anyway* can just instantiate one of those ListCategorizers. Sorry to
waste your time, David. If you want to give the TLWSBB style a stab (more
Sopranos!) plz. do -- it'd make an interesting comparison in usability.

I've just added the Configure Conduit, Activate and Deactivate buttons to
the configure dialog, and they have behavior too, so you can try that out
from CVS (pretty big update, lots of layout, many icons moved or
transformed, etc.)
