Better use (for the first dialog) > "Configure" and "Quit" You are right but XPN is not a "Gnome" newsreader it's a "GTK" newsreader, I tried to read the Gnome HIG but they are painful for me. > (or "Cancel"? - not sure what "No" does - > didn't try because I didnt want to break it - if I said "No" once, > who knows if it were to ask me again later...) You could say "No", it doesn't ask you again because when you close XPN it creates the config file. > - I must get used to have to double-click on something that neither > opens a new window/app as a reaction nor destroys the current window's > content (eg in the group treeview) - why not just react on selection > change?

In the groups treeview (and in the articles treeview too) you have both choice, you can use double-click or single-click (it's configurable) to "open" the group. > - In the preferences, "Groups properties", the purge options dont have > labels that tell the unit (i.e. "days" (?))

I discovered it just after I already coded "my" expander, I also tried to use it ... but I don't like it, my button is nices ;-) > - Reading a message also needs me to double click in the threads > view...
