Hey there!

I'm the author of the Lyrics noatun plugin in the kdeaddons module and I'm 
having some problems designing it's config dialog.

Basicly, in the config dialog you can configure "search providers" (a better 
name for it would be good too), which are sites where you can find lyrics for 
the current song (for example, songmeanings.net, lyrics.astraweb.com, 
getlyrics.com, even google)

You can have several of these search providers and their order is pretty 
important (the first one in the list is the default, and the second should be 
the second best, etc). For each search provider you have (for now) two 
associated properties: it's name and it's search query (that is used by a 
KHTML part to find the lyrics). 

I thought that a KEditListBox would be good to this, as it could handle 
adding, removing, and moving itens automatically for me. However, I couldn't 
find a way to make the query KLineEdit look associated with it. As you can 
see from the attached snapshot, it seems as they are unrelated.

What do you suggest? Should I forget about KEditListBox (and throw away all 
the benefits it gives?)? Or there is a way of redoing it's layout so that the 
items properties seem more related ?

(and on related note, how do I make the text on that label more informative?)

Thanks a lot for your help!
