there are two related but somewhat separate issues, imo:

a) disambiguating between programs with the same generic name. i wonder how difficult (and efficient) it would be to compare if the next or previous item has the same generic name and if so to always paint the subtext in that case.

b) allowing different styles for the main text. really, the only options we need here is to turn off the details-on-mouse-hover (so that they are always painted) and define what is in the header text (generic name or specific name). with those two options one can emulate all the behaviours in kde3, no?

i realize that the above not useful for the simple menu. it probably needs its own options that are more like the kde3 ones.

p.s. if you can remember, please use the kdelibs/plasma coding style =)
