No matter what options a user is presented, someone, somewhere will think one of them is useful. To use your anecdotal evidence, would your friend have really cared if when looking through the settings tab they hadn't found the option to change the toolbar setting? William's[2] rule of thumb that the options we present are the ones that we encourage people to change is pretty much spot on iain [1] Which even members of KDE are now realising is an abomination. [2] William Jon's? I never know how to properly address people who use two names, sorry. _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
