don't see why you cannot have easily recognizable "great looking" icons. I've never had a problem recognizing what an icon is on Mac OS X.
Well, I did.
On KDE, I use 16x16 pixel icons without problems. On MacOSX I use at least 32x32 and I sometimes still had to hover the mouse over the dock to zoom the icon.
So perhaps you should blame the icon designers. Typically, icons are mipmapped at 16x16, 32x32, and of course, 128x128. Some designers add in the 12x12 and 48x48 mipmaps.
Spring loaded folders are indeed very nice, I don't know exactly what you mean by folder actions, of course KDE has column view mode.
I think column view mode refers to the Next metaphor of displaying the folder hierarchy in columns. For instance, when I look at/Developer/Documentation/Darwin/Reference/libkern. html, the contents of / are displayed in the first column,/Developer in the second,/Developer/Documentation in the third,/Developer/Documentation/Darwin/ in the fourth...
This is a common myth. RMS didn't write emacs, he just made a few trivial enhancements to it once it became mature. I feel sorry for the true authors. And apparently, some of them are are so mesmerized by RMS's charisma that they downplay their own contributions.
Frustrated, Steele took it upon himself to the solve the problem. He gathered together the four different macro packages and began assembling a chart documenting the most useful macro commands. In the course of implementing the design specified by the chart, Steele says he attracted Stallman's attention.
"He started looking over my shoulder, asking me what I was doing," recalls Steele.
For Steele, a soft-spoken hacker who interacted with Stallman infrequently, the memory still sticks out. Looking over another hacker's shoulder while he worked was a common activity at the AI Lab. Stallman, the TECO maintainer at the lab, deemed Steele's work "interesting" and quickly set off to complete it.
"As I like to say, I did the first 0.001 percent of the implementation, and Stallman did the rest," says Steele with a laugh.
Except that the Internal Security ministry would prefer that passengers remain in their seats during the flight. Add in the fact that most airline cabins don't have a whole lot of extra space (with, perhaps, the exception of the 747 upper deck, and the a380), and you'll find that cell phone user segregation is unpractical.

Suppose that I own a rare book. Someone takes it, apparently with the intention of selling the plates piecemeal. When they remove it from my possession, they have committed a theft. Now, suppose that in transit across the Atlantic, the hold containing the purloined book is flooded, and the book is destroyed. It's still theft, even though the thieves have not been able to realize any financial gain from their burglary. Now, suppose the object of desire is a copyright. By copying a manuscript without permission, the copiers infringe on a copyright. Suddenly, the holder of that copyright faces competition, either from individuals who would sell copies, or simply give it away. The economic value of that copyright, has, for the moment, diminished quite significantly, perhaps even to zero. Yes, the infringers face competition in the marketplace from the copyright holder, so, in a sense, they are as hapless as the thieves who managed to swamp the rare book, but their actions still deprive the legal owner of the value of that property.
Much in the same way that owning a fishing rod is not, technically, the same thing as fishing itself. It's possible to fish with your bare hands but you're likely end up without any fish. Use a net or fish trap. If you have a bit of practice, you can also use spears or arrows.
Copyright infringement... You're taking content Bzzt, wrong! In copyright infringement, nothing is actually taken. The original owner of the bits still owns them. Next contestant, please!
Actually, you are depriving a copyright owner of his monopoly on the publication of the copyrighted work. Copyright law provides for an exclusive right to "copy", and if unauthorized persons were to copy the work, they would deprive the copyright holder of this exclusivity. The monopoly is taken.
Of course, "stealing a monopoly" doesn't quite have the same ring to it as "stealing a book."
In fact, WindowMaker is coded in C, using the WINGS--WINGS Is Not GNUStep widget library. WindowMaker is designed to cooperate with the GNUstep environment, though.
Though NextStep was designed to "look good" it was also designed to be easy to program. If you only install WindowMaker, you would be missing out on the AppKit-- Next's programming framework. (At least on my Mac, it's easy to use. I've never used the OpenStep/NextStep implementations.)
