That makes sense.

My mistake.

Hmmm... I'll take a look at that.

KListView is probably going away.  The base of KListView is QListView, which 
is renamed to Q3ListView in Qt4 and deprecated.  Unless the KDE devs come up 
with a nice hack, I expect that they will follow suit.

As you know, man power is not *your* problem.  Your problem (and mine) is 
being faithful to what the Lord calls us to.  The Lord typically calls us to 
make actions of faith -- to obey him and do things that we can't possibly do.  
If you're faithful in your part, he'll be faithful in his.

Unless the LORD builds the house,
They labor in vain who build it;
Unless the LORD guards the city,
The watchman keeps awake in vain.
(Psalms 127:1)

Peace,
Gabriel
