Hmm, on 1600x1200 it still looks silly...

I remember a message a long time ago which said something along the lines of
a config option like:
  %n (%C)
which would represent the current solution. 
With at least
    %n translated name
    %N application name (filename)
    %c comment
    %t type (web browser/email reader etc)
maybe there were more.

Anyway the current way produces way to long names and I think the comments
should go, maybe putting them in a popup is a nice way to go.

Thanx.

The only thing worse than failure is the fear of trying something new
