It does -- I've had the windows version running for 2.0 days over the
weekend and the linux version has been playing in my office for almost a
week now. I'm quite happy.

Yes, this is because the truetype font support is not complete yet. Once
that is done the themes will look the same.

The CMD_PlaylistUI message is now superceded -- CMD_AddFiles should be used
instead for the files button.

Can you update it and I'll toss it into CVS?

Yeah -- I would prefer to add those extra info tags that we talked about.
That would be more flexible...

Can you please enter that as a bug?

printfs, unless you have gdb with LinuxThreads support.

Please do! I started doing that, but I won't have time to finish it. I
grabbed the source code to kbiff and started modifying it to be a freeamp
ui....
