</div></div>You are probably right. Did you think about putting the text into a<br>
tooltip in case of showing the flags only?<br><br></blockquote><div>Yes, the tooltip \
is always set whether it's text or icon shown. The systray had a tooltip before \
and I've just added tooltip for plasma applet. For some reason though tooltip \
does not appear in lockdlg in screenlocker. :(<br> <br>Andriy<br><br></div></div>
