To me "next" means go to the next thing. I didn't realize it had back-up impications. But that makes sense. >> The graphic on the OK button is actually a check mark, the standard >> graphic for OK buttons across the desktop for most themes and the Nimbus >> theme in particular. Really? I'm not seeing it as a checkmark. Maybe it's like those pictures in the tech museums which look like different things depending on how you look at it. To me, it looks like a decending arrow with a 90 degree turn to the left. But if it's a standard graphic, I guess it must be my eyes. >> > - The first two panels (language and kb layout) were painted higher up on the >> > screen than subsequent panels.
