Great idea, about the "Hello World!" in GEdit, and "get milk!" in Tomboy! :) About GEdit, it is indeed more difficult to represent a software interface than a real-life notepad... So maybe a line-numbering on the left and a "Hello World" on the first line could do it? I don't know about the pen, I don't think we could replace it with a menubar on the top, it would not look nice. So what do you think? I think that just the line numbering and a simple Hello World would be simple enough not to distract to much a non-developer user. We should not put the Hello World in a programing exemple, thought! And it would be a nice thing for developer users. Yann Dìnendal
