I have changed it to be "Hard disc". It will become "Hard disc (hda1)" when 
you have more than one hard disk (disc?). When you have one device that can 
be mounted at two different locations (some people have that, not very 
common) it will become "Hard disc [/mnt/foobar]". Unfortunately this looks 
horrible here since it gets wrapped as:

Hard disc [/
mnt/foobar]

Question to kfm-devel: Does kde do the wrapping or is it done by Qt?

Cheers,
Waldo
