[kde-doc-english] Visual Guide to Widgets

Hi,
I discussed the Visual Guide (help:/visualdict or 
help:/khelpcenter/visualdict) recently with Carlos. It gives preferred names 
for KDE widgets for use in documentation. 

I have a script which will check documentation for deprecated forms of words 
and suggest the preferred form. I'd like to extend the list of 
preferred/deprecated forms to widget names so that it can begin to be used to 
tidy up existing documentation.

That's where you come in :-). I need a list of deprecated forms of widget 
names for the script. I already have a few, but would like some help in 
thinking of others to check for.

So far, I have:

Correct:	Check box
Incorrect:	Checkbox

Correct:	Combo box
Incorrect:	Drop-down list
		Drop-down box

Correct:	Scrollbar
Incorrect:	Scroll bar

Correct:	Text box
Incorrect:	Textbox, Text-box

Correct:	Titlebar
Incorrect:	Title bar, Title-bar
(ditto 'Toolbar')

Correct:	Tree view
Incorrect:	Treeview, Tree-view

I couldn't think of anything else for:
Icon list, List box, Progress bar, Slider, Spin box

Any ideas, suggestions, questions?

Regards,
Philip

P.S. You can find the script I mentioned at 
http://users.ox.ac.uk/~chri1802/kde/check_pref_forms/ .
Any offers to improve it are welcome, since it's not brilliant :-)
