Hi Bart,

I am sorry that the bug has not yet been fixed. Please understand that the \
mailinglist is not intended to ask for bug  fixes. It is unlikely that this will \
increase your chances to get the bug fixed. For Plasma more there are than 1000 open  \
bug reports - just imagine if each user brings his pet bug to the mailinglist. It \
doesn't scale.

I just had a look at the bug report and I am sorry to say that I for instance do not \
use the widget and have never used  it. It is also not part of our default panel and \
by that very likely that nobody of the developers hit your "bug". I changed  from bug \
to feature request as what you are asking for is actually a feature as it requires \
changes from the existing  behavior. Also we cannot implement it in a minor release \
as this would require new strings and that is not allowed.

There is unfortunately no way to escalate such bugs (I am working on a solution to \
that, see my blog in about one  month from now) at the moment. We are no longer able \
to manage the bugs in bugzilla, we need many users to  support us here, to correctly \
triage the bugs (your bug was in the wrong component), find duplicates and prepare \
for  the developers which bugs are important to fix.

Thanks for your understanding,
Martin Gräßlin
