[Bug 851160] Re: kde keyboard: space to display variant name is too small

[Achim Bohnet]

For 'P' cycle:

The variant name is also always prefixed with the layout name   with
makes it unnecessarily much longer.    IMHO it would be worth to shorten
it like:

     lang = locale.split('_')[0]
     fp = libxml2.parseFile('/usr/share/xml/iso-codes/iso_639_3.xml')

Unsolved is when to use shown_variant and when variant later on in
misc.py ;)

** Description changed:

  ubiquity kde frontend, keyboard selection form:
  
  For languages with long translations for 'Layout' and 'Variant' and/or
  long country names, the horizontal layout has not enough room to display
  the often long names of a keyboard variant.
  
  As it's late in the 'O' cycle I would suggest to place 'Layout' and
  'Variant' vertically not horizontally as it is now.  There much not used
  vertial space to allow this.
