For desktop icons, KWordWrap does the job.

It wraps at word separators, which includes '/', so the above isn't too
surprising - but I see how it looks bad. I'm not sure which rule to make up
to avoid that though. Paths are always a bit special....
Hmm, something like: when finding a breakable char, check if the current word
"looks good" (i.e. contains any real chars, not only other breakable chars),
and if not, break before it. When hitting that '/', the current word is "[/", which
doesn't fullfil that requirement.....
