Huh?! I didn't realise the (modified) Cute Mouse driver could be used
with Linux!     ;-)     (I was talking about DOS Arachne, of course ...)

Anyway, I have recently decided, that I need to learn a little about
Linux and/or FreeBSD (perhaps even install this stuff ;-). Until then,
my knowledge of things Linux is almost non-existent. However, does
your reference to "parsing Gnome desktop files" imply support for
just Gnome, or does this also apply to KDE?

Joe.
