While translating the korn documentation for kde3.1, I found this paragraph:

The first option, <guilabel>Horizontal</guilabel>, will create a 
window and the contents of the window will contain the options you 
specified in the <guilabel>View</guilabel> tab (which you can get to 
by selecting your mailbox and clicking <guimenuitem>Modify...</
guimenuitem>). On the other hand, selecting <guilabel>Docked</
guilabel> will dock &korn; into the &kicker; panel.

I almost got an headache trying to figure out what it meant, then
gave up. I think something like the following would be better:

The first option, <guilabel>Horizontal</guilabel>, will display a set
of status indicators aligned horizontally in a window, the second,
<guilabel>Vertical</guilabel>, will do the same vertically, and 
<guilabel>Docked</guilabel> will dock &korn; into the &kicker; panel.
The appearance of the indicators can be changed through the  
<guilabel>View</guilabel> tab of the dialog that appears when 
clicking on the<guilabel>Modify...</guilabel> button in the 
<guilabel>Mailbox</guilabel> tab.

(Re-reading my new entry almost gives me an headache too,
but it is the best I can manage within a single paragraph.
Maybe korn docs need a cleanup overall... )

Can someone whose primary language is English cleanup my entry,fix it and 
commit it for kde 3.1? (or maybe 3.2. I am going to map the current 
translation to the italian equivalent of the above for 3.1 anyhow.)

so long
