"The X heads at Netscape decided that now would be the best time to move away from Motif. They choose GTK+ as the target toolkit for development under the X Windows System". Currently, though Mozilla is still somehow based on GTK+ widgets, they're trying to get away from it with project Seamonkey. For example, the input boxes are no longer GTK+ widgets but Mozilla's own code, as they have to support formating and style sheets.
Those.Xdefaults should make Motif nicer, atleast for me:
Happened to me too. To run Napster in WINE, all you need to do is to change to Napster's directory ("/c/program files/napster" or whatever) before running it. You don't notice that in win32 since the shortcut already contains the "Working Directory".
We've seen many stupid technological patents, but while Wang's File->Open or UniSys's GIF patents could be enforced, I see no chance of anybody suing me for internal working of my web site. Nobody sees it, nobody knows and I'm not required to disclose my source code, so there's no actual danger. Am I wrong on that?
Nobody just seem to concentrate on the main geeky idea of this mp3 kill thing. Like, how could something block me from receiving a stream of bits from a file, decoding them using a special algorhytm into PCM data which is being sent to the soundcard. Would all soundcards from now require a special key-protected system for sound output?! That sounds even less possible than Intel blocking me from running Linux software on a Pentium machine. Next idea - yes, I know - it gonna be a special virus-like debugging tracer which gonna look out for instructions which could possibly make up an mp3 decoder. Cute idea coders, eh?
Anyway, if someone thinks I didn't quite get the point, by all means, tell me, I'd really like to know what those paranoids really have in mind. I think it gonna be funny:)
As suggested some book I read a while ago, the X development started in 1984. And yes - my linux desktop looked fairly similar to Windows 95 - running LiteStep.
Cray 1, which was sold for $7M USD around 1977 had a peak performance of 133 megaflops, as Cray site (until recent integration with SGI site) claimed. Their 1985 machine (don't remember the name though) had 512MB of RAM and 16 giga flops top performance. Their 1993 machine overcame the tera flop limit. To compare, my AMD-K6 200MHz has reached peak performance of around 40 mega flops... or maybe it was less - don't know if I understood the values right.

Netscape*XmPushButton*shadowThickness: 1
Netscape*XmPushButtonGadget*shadowThickness: 1
*drawingArea*XmList.highlightThickness: 1
Gives you little less of those sucky 3D effects.
Still haven't figure out a way to make buttons have only one border... Suggestions, anyone?
