Escape's fine with me; escape-escape matches some shell completion modes, for  
that matter.

As far as address books go, wouldn't it be better to have the "expensive"  
boolean configurable?  LDAP support has been part of Balsa for a while now,  
and I'm the first person to snivel about the delay in the mailing list.  From  
that, you would think most LDAP users are able to have their queries handled  
in an acceptable amount of time with the current setup. (Or acceptable to  
them, anyways.)

Just a thought.
