*JUST* the GNOME people? I've found that, in general, the "we know
better than you" mindset is even worse with Apple and M$. And getting
worse still, especially with Apple.
My choice for volume icons, for example, has always been a vintage disk
pack for an old IBM 3330 "Merlin" drive, sitting idle, in a pack-cover.
And my choice for a desktop background has always been a brick wall
(ever since I first had a chance to play with ResEdit on a Mac Plus,
more than half a lifetime ago). Do I shove this down anybody else's
throat? No. But neither do I care to have somebody else's look-and-feel
elements shoved down my throat.

WinDoze logo on it.)
