Using the new AddresseeEditorWidget, I implemented Quick Editing. For those 
that are not familiar with the concept, quick editing shows the editor in 
the main window, and updates the addressee as the user types. The widget is 
updated to always show the currently selected addressee. This eliminates 
the need to open a new dialog and press ok/cancel. This feature is mostly 
used in a business setting where looking up and modifying a users 
information quickly is needed.

Of course the feature can be disabled in the Settings menu, so those who do 
not like it never have to see it. It also requires a good amount of screen 
realistate, so it is off by default.

A screenshot is here: http://www.slac.com/~mpilone/kde/kaddressbook6.png
This will be included in my AddresseeEditor commit (which will hopefully 
happen soon).

Comments and questions welcome,
-mike

PS: DnD is now implemented in the card view.
