What's that? But it supports DCOP scripting. And I thought if you need scripting use shell scripts. Why script a GUI thing? > Why can't the OpenSource community "innovate"? Oops..

Certainly you are misinterpreting the thing. If you say X don't allow a standard UI policy, I think we need to discuss what's policy? Do you mean a single GUI API routed thr. single set of dlls. I wouldn't consider that as policy. X does policy and that's the beauty of it... > Me too, I guess that was started by the "Emperor" Mr. Atul Chitnis, > isn't it? No. There are far too many people to start with who wants a system that works. My advice. The catch with linux is that it's just different. Don't put any labels and compare it with oranges and apples. Learn the way it works and I am sure you will appreciate it.. I usually don't follow-up two posts for single thread but couldn't help it this time..
