As of today, KMessageBox does not support word-wrap any longer.=20

In KDE 2.2 KMessageBox didn't do word-wrap either, but some applications =
may=20
have removed linefeeds from their messagebox texts already. They need to =
be=20
re-added.

What's new for KDE 3.0 is that lines longer than 80 characters will be=20
"squeezed". That means that a line like=20
=09"This is a line longer than 80 chars."=20
will become something like
=09"This is a line lo...an 80 chars."
(This example isn't really 80 chars wide of course)

Application developers and translators should be aware of two things:
* The text for a messagebox should not exceed 80 characters per line and=20
should contain linebreaks where necassery.
* Variable data (e.g. %1) that can be of arbitrary length (e.g. a filenam=
e)=20
should be placed either on a single line or on a line which contains a sh=
ort=20
prefix only.
