uh oh. 
on something like lines 614,618 of citydlg.c, change 
'bracketleft' -> 'comma'
'bracketright' -> 'period'

this is probably going to be in the next version anyway, might as well see if 
it works.

hopefully a german keyboard has "< >" are shifted ", ." keys? Probably not...

Well I guess we could go with (n)ext and (p)rev

Ok, I see the problem now. This is already on my (actually Daniel's) todo list.
It's any type that takes up a lot of column space.

Maybe we need a function that does: 
"Copernicus' Observatory" -> "Copernicus' Obser..."

or something? That would certainly be helpful for any additional features like, 
for example, city names in the prev/next buttons...
