    Actualy Ion can be the cure for the too-many-windows-are-poping-up problem, Gimp work much better in Ion with a few kludges than in a conventional WM. This only works when the dialogs and other windows that tend to pop up don't vary too much in their size. For anything else there is FloatWS.

  17. Re:I agree on Linus on SCO, and the Desktop Being 10 Years Away · · Score: 1

    Why do I allways hear that mac hardware is better, but you're still using a Logitech mouse? I've had the pleasure of helping with a Mac laptop (Classic) as you can imagine it had no Logitech touchpad. Ugh. And usability experts can say what they want, but having the menu on the top is confusing, it also looses it's advantages with a non-mouse pointing device. I must say that it didn't seem better or worse than a say Windows 98.

    Have you ever watched someone delete 200 identical mails by clicking on every single one of them? It's painful. Users shouldn't be given something that "works", they should be trained. After that you may give them your magical "just works for everyone" UI.
