When I was a brand new user, the default frame seemed odd but didn't bother me. A little later, when I wanted to change it, it was a source of frustration. At that point, gEDA nearly lost me due to the lack of documentation *or* clear GUI access to the necessary facility. (Sure, unlock was buried in one menu, but other than a genius guess, how would I have known that was what was wanted? IIRC I finally found it mentioned somewhere - might have been buried in the wiki, might have been elsewhere and Google found it.) Frankly, I don't expect a default frame, and as a way to fix the zoomed out to interstellar space bug it seems at best a kluge. > "Changing defaults" should be a section of the FAQ for users that > make it past the first afternoon of use. That might be reasonable for changing the frame - you can, and perhaps should, do some messing about before that matters. I could wish it had been so when I was tearing my hair out... -- On televison everything that happpens is connected; it's got to be.
