Description Daniel Franke 2005-09-03 23:24:26 UTC 
Version:           1.3.1 (using KDE 3.4.2, Gentoo)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3.5-20050130 (Gentoo 3.3.5.20050130-r1, ssp-3.3.5.20050130-1, pie-8.7.7.1)
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.11.11

Please replace any occurence of "-1" where it means "unknown value" or "not applicable" by an empty string (or its textual expression, e.g. "unknown" =). 

"-1" might be a sensible value at some point and may be confusing otherwise, at least at first sight. For example: "ElectroNEGATIVITY" of Helium: "-1" -- hu?

Thanks!

Fixed in 3.5. 3.4 is in stringfreeze so it can't be fixed there.
