SuSE 8.0 has a little icon on the top of the text box (the box is similar to MDK 8.2's) that shows the current status in an animated fashion. But I think something like what you propose - maybe sorta in the style of the KDE splash screen, might be better... Speaking of which, what about making the KDE splash screen match whatever Bootsplash looks like in 9.0? > The only satisfying solution I can see for this would be to have *sets* of > ratings for different interests, say `server', `workstation' and > `gamestation'. True... although even in gamestation having Pingus installed is not critical, technically speaking, the machine works fine without it... But I see your point. > Only if you could do it without *breaking* it for Gnome, BlackBox etc. > Gnome is useful in specific situations above and beyond its popularity, and > `light' WMs like BlackBox are extremely useful in low-resource situations > like large LTSP classrooms. Ideally, it would be nice to keep the GTK interface too, but I think a QT interface would work fine in all of the places you mention (especially a pure QT interface rather then a KDE/QT interface). It might not look as nice in GNOME at a GTK interface, but the same is true the other way around, and I'm pretty sure more Mandrakers use KDE then GNOME. > There is an Etc timezone group with GMT+/-## zones in it.

Good idea! > Hmmm... and how legal would it be to scrape TTFs out of MS-Windows or > MS-Office CDs? Probably, perfectly legal. Which reminds me of another suggestion - now that X comes (IIRC) with some halfway decent scalable fonts, how about enabling anti-aliasing by default (if supported) in 9.0? > Uh, `you've had a *lot* of time to plan this, haven't you?' (-: Yup. It's one of those things I ponder in my head while I drift off for the night or when I'm in a waiting room. <g> -Tim - -- - ---------------------------------------------------------------- Timothy R.
