Yes, very much, thanks! Can I repost the images to bugzilla other
KDE-related pages?

I'll get on it. Of course, it would have to be tested on distros other
than *buntu, but that can be by users of those distros.

Because people like to click! Seriously, it makes them feel productive
and smart. There was a discussion on slashdot about this maybe a year
or two ago. Webpages: less click are better. Applications' UI: more
clicks are better. Especially for work-related applications.

Thank _you_ for patching and packaging!
