Thanks for the work!

I didn't even remember that the kde combobox would use frequency 
ordering and I think the time history is better. Only the visible list 
for completion was a "nice to have" feature because it's easier to use, 
at least for me. Even that could have been sacrificed if it had been 
more difficult to implement.
