Frankly, because if you want a GUI solution, you should conform to the way the GUI works. Creating something which is only "sorta like other Mac apps" isn't good enough.

After all, this is all being done for the benefit of the end user, right?But what about all of the network computing solutions, novice user solutions, and other situations where apps CANNOT BE MOVED for security, consistency and control purposes?
Network installed or otherwise fixed Applications on the Macintosh existed long before Microsoft "invented" the feature for Windows.
Fink installed applications should be treated no differently; they are highly controlled, administratively restricted, applications. No big deal. The user community of Fink should be able to deal with such a situation-- we are talking about a group of people that (a) recognized/use the power of Unix and (b) are installing Fink because they are *expecting* Fink to take command.
