I tend to disagree. Redundancy in a GUI means you have too many options to achieve the same goal through many (more than two seems a good measurement to me) GUI options, without consistency. That's why I don't like QXP and MS Office. In scribus (and OO.o, I'd like to add), you can always right-click an item and you will have reasonable options handy. The properties palette is consistent and only varies depending on the kind of frame you selected. But all/most of these actions can also be reached with (or, to describe it another way, "mapped to") the keyboard. This is a matter of choice of devices, not GUI redundancy. Cheers, Christoph
