It's probably important to remember that non-technical users (at least in the UK) also use the word "screen" to refer to a dialogue box/druid page because of experiences of computer systems that they've seen operating, or used, where navigating through a set of computerised forms means going through a "series of screens". I think it is a bad idea to use the word "screen" due to the common use of this very closely related, but very different, meaning. -- Tristan These opinions are my own and are not related to any opinions of my employer. -- ubuntu-desktop mailing list ubuntu-desktop@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-desktop
