Hi Fabien

Glad to know you liked KStars!

This seems fixable; please report it as a bug on our Bugzilla,
http://bugs.kde.org - that's easier to keep track of.

IIRC, this is a bug already filed on our bugzilla, but I have no clue
how to fix it... maybe others could pitch in.

Same with this. This should be implementable too.

I don't know how to fix this off hand - maybe Med would know?
