Glad to know I'm not the only one who feels this way.

In fact, the inspiration for http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=56101 comes from your World Clock applet.

Anyway, minor bug:

Original CPA:


Your CPA:


As you can see, a long filename pushes the sliders out.

What the original CPA will do is g_strndup it before setting the HildonButton's value label. Alternatively, http://maemo.org/api_refs/5.0/5.0-fi...Area--mov-mode but that's rather clunky...

It's a shame that HildonButton won't allow access to its labels, as I think gtk_label_set_ellipsize is awesome...

Best regards,
Faheem
