I really enjoy GNOME, and I hate to be mean. And it has good points (you can in fact, navigate the whole application). But I can't help but think it has a few glaringly bizarre flaws of its own. GNOME focus navigation is at times almost infuriatingly crazy, with many special cases and inconsistent behavior for different widget -- and even in the direction of focus! (As an example: shifting backwards/forwards, as in the case of a ListView -- you can tab through the headers and the list data, but you can't shift-tab back into the list - it skips the list and goes to the headers, then you have to tab again to get back into the list). I actually don't want to be seen as vitriolic, but this bothers me so much. _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list desktop-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
