I don't know in-depth details on this issue on GNU/Linux.

Well, I have experienced them, and tried to outline them here, I wish I could make them clearer. It just seems odd to me that non-OSX users are trying to dictate how to handle OSX issues to someone who has been coding for NeXTSTEP/Mac OS X since 1995. .hc > > > cheers... > > > gmydsr > IOhannes ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Man has survived hitherto because he was too ignorant to know how to realize his wishes.
