sorry I misread it at first thinking he wasn't following the standard button order and was suggesting that he could follow the Gnome button order if he wanted and then use the alternative button order for Windows. After drafting the message I did notice that he was actually talking about putting the buttons on the side rather than talking about button order. I then went back and poorly (far too poorly I'm afraid) rephrased it to encourage him to add alternative button order, and then to also state it would be interesting if it there was an easy way to switch the button layout to stick things on the side. sorry for the communication failure, I fed the gremlins after midnight and things didn't go so well. (next time I'll wait until the morning and try harder to be clear) -- Alan _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list desktop-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
