Hmmm.... That might pose a problem. How do you ensure that there are no double 
accellerators if the labels come from kabc (which has nothing to do with any 
UI)? The translators of kabc can't rely on any specific layout of the widgets 
in KAddressbook, since the labels might be used elsewhere as well. Can we 
invent some algorithm to automaticly assign accellerator keys's, based on the 
labels visible on a page at a time? I understand that that could prove 
tricky, but assigning them from kabc is just as tricky and would brake the 
indepence between kabc and kaddressbook, wich is not desireable I think.
