--- Comment #2 from Nate Graham <n...@kde.org> ---
With the existing width of the Widget Explorer, I think increasing the maximum
number of lines makes sense here, along with the height of the delegates.
Browsing the code, it looks like the AppletDelegate goes to great pains to
prevent the number of lines from ever exceeding four. Now that I really look at
the Widget explorer, I notice that a number of widgets get their text cut off
even in English (Application Menu, Dictionary, Display Configuration, Hard Disk
I/O Monitor, Hard Disk Space Usage, Minimize all Windows, System Tray, Window
List). I imagine the problem is much worse in wordier languages like German,
French, and Portuguese. IMHO there's not much use in keeping the display all
compact and tidy if it results in important text getting cut off.
Dumb-but-effective solution: increase the max lines to 3 for titles and 4 for
the description, and increase the minimum height of the delegate accordingly.
Slightly smarter solution: calculate the maximum number of lines for the
longest delegate and then size all of them accordingly, which would prevent
them from being so tall for languages that aren't as long.
Out-of-left-field solution: increase the width of the Widget Explorer and the
delegates by, say, 25-50% so that there's more horizontal space for text.
