i know the name is not good but it is allready known to quiet a lot people so 
i don't really see a reason for renaming it.

i absoluetly agree with you that that would be really cool. 
But i don't have time to do this in the near future (maybe start with that in

best tool around.

aren't there quiet a few apps in kde that are linux-only, but i also think 
that kdeextragear is the better place for it now.

thanks and greetings,
