the only down side I see to this is fixing all the OE apps that use scrollbars... that said, I really like this idea from a UI standpoint... it's easier to make circular motions with your fingers than straight lines, scrollbars work good with a mouse since it's easier to move in straight lines with one. we need a way to select which on-screen item to scroll if there's more than one (for simplicity's sake this should be a rare occurance... but web sites love scrollable elements). but it should be really easy to switch from hand to hand... just have a right and left mirrored scroll widget, and skin that bottom bar so it can exist either on the left or right hand side of the screen... there should be a way to make the spinner minimize... it does eat a lot of screen resolution... I'd try it but before I got Qemu working, X kind of ate it on my box, and I've been confined to the windows laptop I get from work... they won't even let me set it up to dual-boot -- Jeff O|||||||O
