So this isn't very exciting but I have a minor patch against the latest
CVS on the web (attached) to change the wording of the save-before-close
dialog to use verbs rather than generic yes-no answers, and . I did say
it wasn't exciting (but, to be fair, it is the first time I've used PyQt).
<stupid question>
I assume that compliance with the KDE look-and-feel is considered A Good
Thing? Is there any good Human Interface Guidelines document for KDE?
The documents I could find at http://usability.kde.org/hig/ seem to be
somewhat incomplete (by contrast the Gnome documentation seems to be
rather good: http://developer.gnome.org/projects/gup/hig/2.0/ - but
clearly an application using e.g. a Qt filepicker is never going to look
like a Gnome/Gtk application).
</stupid question>
Right, now I just need to learn more PyQt and more about Veusz and I can
try to do something more substantial...

"Sir: "Offence" is not confined to the religious. I take offence at
"Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer", "Jingle Bells" and all that they stand
for; at ten-gallon hats and other symbols of American aggression; at
slit-eyed black veils and other symbols of the oppression of women; at
First Communion veils, and other symbols of the indoctrination of
children. But I do not start a riot when I encounter them, nor try to
get them banned by law. I mutter through gritted teeth and turn the
other way.
There is a case to be made that all of us should try to avoid giving
gratuitous offence to others. But how has our secular society been
conned into allowing religious offence to jump the queue and claim
special privileges?"
