I'm using the llncs
document class and try to get two figures side-by-side. I found a solution, but I get a hbox underflow if my captions have a bad length. Here is a minimal example:
\documentclass{llncs}
\begin{document}
\begin{figure}
\begin{minipage}[t]{0.4\linewidth}
\caption{Fragwrdige Zusammengehrigkeit bei sehr grosen Clustern}% Underfull \hbox (badness 10000) in paragraph at lines
\end{minipage}%
\begin{minipage}[t]{0.4\linewidth}
\caption{Text}
\end{minipage}
\end{figure}
\end{document}
The PDF output seems to by OK, so I could ignore this warning. But I wonder if there is a correct solution for this problem. Any ideas?

Adding
\usepackage[german]{babel}
allows latex to break the words using German rules which brings the badness down to 1803.Once the badness is below 10000 (= infinity) it's not really an error just a warning that it's a difficult paragraph. If there isn't a particular reason for wanting
.4\linewidth
You can adjust the space a bit,.45
appears to work, although there is no setting that can guarantee good linebreaks in all cases, especially in languages where the word length is typically large. I also added\hfill
so the two minipages are flush either edge of the page.
