It means the best solution is _usually_ the one which is easiest, if the
easiest option comes in the form of an applet, so be it. Command line
might be wonderful and powerful etc etc blah de dah, but as the old
saying goes "When in gnome, do as the gnomeans do", and if your not in X
(ie: cant use the applet) there ain't really a hellava lot to capture
anyway. :)
