I just have to say: this model/view stuff rocks. I spent the last day or so porting different parts of the key manager of KGpg to model/view interfaces. It's not even half way done but I like the direction it's going. Some important basic things are still missing, like everything that has to do with updating the model contents after the initial setup. But what I already was able to port over was just a walk through the park. A long one, but still at a reasonable pace while stopping here and there to watch was is besides your way.

Things like item sorting, implementing a filter or opening a context sensitive popup menu are really straight forward. One Qt3 compatibility class is already gone and the ported code looks somehow less obfuscated. What really amazes me is how fast it works, there is no flickering or anything. And some of the ported functions even work ;)
