Thanks sixwheeledbeast, I'll gladly test it after next release(s)

@pichlo
While I'm not fan of names such as "QRadio" or "QNetworkMonitor" (although, the latter is really good program), I like playing with languages - so, Qnotted as Knotted seems fine to me.

OTOH, It is - sometimes - helpful to now which language program was written at the very point of seeing it's name. For example, Qt stacks are screwed for multimedia (at least on Maemo), and any radio program written in Q *will* have mono only. Thus, "silly names" helped me to filter out noise in search results, when I was looking for decent FM radio applications.

Once, it was also helpful, when one wanted to have more lightweight system - choosing GTK programs was beneficial due to fact, that - if one wasn't using any Qt'ie apps at all - Qt libraries were not sitting loaded in the physical RAM (GTK is used by hildon, so it was loaded - and shared - anyway). Nowadays, it isn't relevant anymore, as even such base things as CSSU are using Qt bits over GTK (sadly).

Sorry for off-topic,
