Hi,
could we move  qx.ui.list.List to qx.ui.form.list.List ?
this way it gets into the form namespace and keeps the 6 classes in the 
form.list namespace too and  they won't float around ?

cheers,
Gabi

We always wanted to have the list in its own package because it has some 
infrastructure that comes with it so we moved it to its own package. As you 
see, the new list itself are 6 files which I don't want to float around in the 
form namespace.

The Virtual prefix is more or less connected to the namespace decision. The 
list has its won namespace so it does not need a prefix. All other three 
widgets are located besides their non virtual widgets. This means we need to 
make it clear which widget is on what technical base. Thats why we have the 
prefix.

I guess its a bit of everything. ;)
