The reason I made them read-only line edits was to allow selection of 
the text which they contain, which may well be not very useful in this 
case. I'd be happy to change these to QLabels.

I also considered making them KActiveLabels - they look the same as 
QLabels, but you can select the text. (Actually KActiveLabels don't 
seem to have a "disabled" appearance, as QLabels do...).

OK, I'll do that.

Hopefully I was using a KIntNumInput already :)

Apart from these two changes would you like any other modifications to 
be made?

In another thread Aaron said that making the "Control Centre" text 
launch the Control Centre would be a good idea. Could someone direct me 
to some similar code, so that I can see the best way of achieving this?

Cheers,

Dave
