 My main shock is from the aesthetic challenge of gtk1 apps (ok, that
doesn't apply to xmms whose appearance is all down to the skin) -
I'm not really into the aesthetics, but gtk1 just looks so old.

 Yes, I used xmms for a long time.  Bmp2 looked good, with tooltips,
but in the end it had too many gnome dependencies for me.  Nowadays I
use audacious, symlinked as xmms so that my icewm menus in ~/ work on
both older and newer builds.
