Subject:    Bug#9771: Ugly word wrapping on desktop and in konqueror

Package: kdesktop

The word wrapping of icon texts ignores the word endings and looks very 
ugly. In languages with longer words than English (like German or 
Finnish) the KDE desktop looks outright ridiculous which will produce a 
lot of bad comments on KDE in general.

Examples are the German words for "home directory" and "floppy drive" 
which now wrap like this:

---
Persoenlich
es
Verzeichni
s
---

and

---
Diskettenl
aufwerk
---

Please use at least bigger character cells as a work around. But what 
we really need, of course, is a word wrap that honors the line endings.

Regards,

Thomas
