I'm really with Minnich on this one. The GUI is what *everyone* complains about and it's always the *first* thing they complain about. I deal with pretty intelligent people in the security community and they can't handle Rio and don't want to.
Yeah. I've actually heard that firsthand from some of our visualization people. I mean, they would also want support for hw OpenGL, which we can't do (yet), but apparently the Rio aesthetic was lost on them.
While I don't think it'd be worth it to port the giant GTK+/GNOME hairball over, I do miss the 3D-look window borders, which (to me) make it easier to distinguish edges for grabbing and moving purposes. If GNOME is too much candyfloss & tinsel, how about a 3dwm-look?
