I've seen your QtVu web page. :)

Ok.  Well, I have no opinions on this myself, so any ideas are welcome.
For starters though I'm still thinking of beginning with that simple one
item per line thing, just to get things visible and editable.  Most of
the work should be done in the individual item editors, reducing the
problem to a minor layout thing.

In those situations the tab bar at the top of the diagrams, as Object
Domains has it, is a life safer.

Good solutions should be obvious. :)

That's true.  The major difference is that with the combobox solution
there is room for longer texts.

Exactly.

You didn't?  I did it myself right now, just to see how hard it would
be, and it was trivial: In qb.pro, just remove all files containing the
string "odbc" in their names, and in yact.pro remove the entire second
line of libraries, the one containing the odbc stuff.  Rerun tmake, and
that's it.  Here is the patch, after copying qb.pro to qb2.pro, and
yact.pro to yact2.pro.
