Hi Martin!

I'm certainly willing to work in the search dialog as I committed. I've 
got to put some time into considering an interface for that.  I don't 
think a complete redesign of the entire search dialog is in order here 
(please let me know if you feel otherwise).  To me the main thing that 
can use improvement is the custom search range.

I will also do analysis on better dnd system. I believe KDE 3.0 has 
major improvements in this area which facilitates dnd multiple objects. 
(if there's any hints/suggestions on this, please speak up).

I also noticed there's dnd improvements in the structural changes task. 
  This is related to the item above (better dnd) and if I take on this, 
it might make implementing better dnd a little easier.  Is this already 
being worked on?  I certainly won't be able to get to all the sub tasks 
in the structural changes task.
