[Guillaume BINET <gbin@xxxxxxxxx>]

I updated the ebuild with the correct license.

I am under KDE 4.2.3 and qt 4.5.1

I tried different geometries so you can see how it reacts on my system, you 
can find them here :

http://www.gootz.net/gentoo/tooNarrow.png
http://www.gootz.net/gentoo/tooNarrow1.png
http://www.gootz.net/gentoo/tooSmall.png

As for the icon presentation how about :
A global switch to quickly disable everything when you are on the plane with 
the left button and an extender with the right button to select a precise 
device to disable ?

Cheers,

Guillaume.
