Thanks for the feedbacks. For reference, is there any guidelines for a kind of this issue? FWIW c) sounds misleading of this functionality to me. im-chooser doesn't behaves either of "Input Method" nor "Input Method Preferences" - "Input Method" would be like ibus and scim and "Input Method Preferences" would be a specific one for them. this is to switch, disable/enable the Input Method. this is why currently it displays "Input Method configuration tool" as the title. though it may be too long. so further idea to improve the window title is welcome :) The GNOME HIG is a bit vague in this regard, but it says "For non-document-based applications, use Application Name as the window title"ยน which refers to "name=" in the .desktop file. The best "guideline" atm is comparing what the official control center modules do, e.g "Mouse" => "Mouse Preferences", "Appearance" => "Appearance Preferences" If c) is misleading, why is the .desktop launcher called "Input Method"? :) I just now noticed the "Input Method Preferences" button... Problem is, I don't really understand what im-chooser does at all... you can activate general usage of input methods and then chose one in the list below? In that case, a radio widget would be helpful I think. [1] http://library.gnome.org/devel/hig-book/nightly/windows-primary.html.en Thinking about it, it would fist make sense to think about if you plan to move im-chooser to a gnome3-style control center applet (like [1]) or if it will stay a standalone application and is really more like a "tool".

Right. > In that case, a radio widget would be helpful I think. Well, not really because it's likely to see more than 5 items there as GNOME HIG also adopt the case not using the radio button.

I'm still not sure what's the best way to fix this though, just committed the change to make the dialog resizable in upstream repo. FYI. *** Bug 635955 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Created attachment 454524 [details]

one possible suggestion to make this improved. how does it look? also updating similarly for .desktop file.
I'm going to make a new package with the above change though, any feedback for that? I asked the UI people on IRC a number of times but never got a response :/ Anyway, the screenshot above includes a lower-case word in the window title which should be upper-case (window titles are all-uppercase) Sure. thanks for the comment. fixed it in the repo. fixed in im-choser-1.4.0-1.fc15. will backport the fix for f13 and f14. im-chooser-1.4.0-1.fc14 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 14. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/im-chooser-1.4.0-1.fc14 im-chooser-1.4.0-1.fc13 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 13. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/im-chooser-1.4.0-1.fc13 im-chooser-1.4.0-1.fc14 has been pushed to the Fedora 14 testing repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. If you want to test the update, you can install it with su -c 'yum --enablerepo=updates-testing update im-chooser'.

The im-chooser window currently displays "IM Chooser - Input Method confi" a) the title is cut off and the window cannot be resized b) the window should not show branding ("IM Chooser") c) the window title should be the same as used the .desktop launcher (=> "Input Method" or, as a control center module "Input Method Preferences"
