If we use a treeview, one of the problems is that the entire section would become pretty long (from http://people.sugarlabs.org/sayamindu/cpanel_kbd.png - and we are showing only 2 of the maximum 4 layouts that are usually possible with XKB). As the section "overflows", we would have a scrollbar at the side, which looks somewhat ugly IMHO. -sdg- -- Sayamindu Dasgupta [http://sayamindu.randomink.org/ramblings] _______________________________________________ Sugar-devel mailing list Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel
