Description m.wege 2010-01-24 12:59:02 UTC

Version:           4.4 rc2 (using 4.3.95 (KDE 4.3.95 (KDE 4.4 RC2)), Kubuntu packages)
Compiler:          cc
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.31-18-generic

When I create a new contact, Afghanistan is show as a standard country for new entries. Of course this is because of it's first place in the Alphabet. Surely most of the users in the world wont have most of the contacts there. I would suggest to determine the first in the list either by their locale/timezone or something else or putting recently/most used Countries separately on top of the list.

I think you mean default country? Edit title to make clearer.

Seems sensible, obvious solution is to just default to the users KLocale::global()->country() if set.  When the combo is activated could also add most common countries from the users address book at the top of the list.
