I totaly agree here. Not because it would cause more work in designing
the dialogs, but because it is unnessary and makes the code seriousely
ugly. It is impossible to write dialogs that look nicely with texts
of all lengths. If the translators find "sufficient short" translations
(a bit more length is okay, twice as long is not) it should be possible.

How does one create a label over two rows? Is it done with simple adding
a \n? If so, thats the (most easy) solution of the current discussion.
