[Development] QLineEdit filter widgets

[Konstantin Ritt]

So complicating...just to not do it the proven way :)

>>Anyhow, this opens the problem of if / how we should expose the "internal
widget" used to represent those actions. As you say there are certain bits
of QAction's API that are currently available in QToolButton's one.
>That would basically mean leave the getter QWidget *sideWidget(enum Side)
as it is,currently?

So, `
 QWidget *sideWidget(enum Side) const;
 addAction(enum Side, QAction *);
` ?

With Side Actions, how will the user maintain the buttons ordering?
insertSideAction(enum Side, QAction *, QAction *before) ?
removeSideAction(enum Side, QAction *) + addSideAction(enum Side, QAction
*) ?

Konstantin
