The REAL fix
Authored by: Iyad on Dec 22, '02 02:01:13AM

Adding \\n or \\\\n did not work. So I ventured to find out how "Software Update" and "Universal Access" manage to wrap their names. The answer is simple:
- Open "InfoPlist.strings" with Property List editor as described above. You can just drag and drop the file over it and it will open properly.
- From the Edit menu, choose "Show Strings as ASCII". This will replace symbols with unicode values
- Click on "New Sibling" button and name the new property exactly "NSPrefPaneIconLabel"
- Set the value of the new property to "Microsoft\\U000AKeyboard" or "Microsoft\\U000AMouse"
- Save, delete the prefs cache as described above, and you're done. Now the names will wrap as they should.

This is a great web site, I looked everywhere for info about this before coming here and learning about the need to delete the cache file.
