Done...  There was a little laziness of my own involved in suggesting this!

Sounds good!

I have just completed the code to save key bindings from the options
dialog, so this should be done now.

I am trying to figure this one out now.  I am trying to determine the best
way to read all entries in the "Foreign Fonts" group in order to populate
the list.  I should then be done with this pretty quickly.

I am trying to figure out how to define and use QConig::entryMap as this
looks like the "standard" way of doing it.

I will then commence to cleaning things up, and taking care of conditionals
(like disabling objects when not needed).

Thanks for your continuing encouragement.  It is GREAT to be a part of
something like this.
