Battling with some of those folks suggests that they remove any feature which has the tinyest possibility of confusing the least knowledgable. Goodness knows why you can't have "advanced" configuration dialogs to change some of their braindead defaults (if there is an option, it's usually hidden in that gconf disaster, but usually they hard code in the crap). I gave up several years ago with gnome (also see the discussion between gnome and linus), and have been pretty happy with kde since. I still have to face that shockingly bad gtk/gnome file dialog box when using firefox though :-( Jeremy -- Jeremy Sanders <jss at ast.cam.ac.uk> http://www-xray.ast.cam.ac.uk/~jss/ X-Ray Group, Institute of Astronomy, University of Cambridge, UK.
