Your designs are beautiful. Even if these designs are never used, you are showing that open source software can be used to make very professional-quality artwork. > I have never seen apport (besides some screenshots) and I use Kubuntu, Actually, there is a Kubuntu frontend for apport in Feisty now ('apport-qt'). > so I am > sure I will be way off-base in the style.
