	(e_select_names_text_model_activate_obj): add is_read_only param.
	also, include a little policy here and make it TRUE, as the user
	shouldn't be editting in this context anyway (imo).

	* gui/component/addressbook.c (supported_fields_cb): add
	is_read_only param.

	* contact-editor/test-editor.c (main): add is_read_only param.
