That's one possible conclusion, but another completely possible one is: The software works very well for the GNOME developers, and they don't know what all the fuss is about. Just because software doesn't do what YOU want/expect, doesn't mean that it isn't working exactly as designed. _______________________________________________ luv-main mailing list [email protected] http://lists.luv.asn.au/listinfo/luv-main
