Can you point me to the research showing the effect this has on user
efficiency, or failing that, at least a design document comparable
to Apple's Human Interface Guidelines for the Macintosh? Or is this
just an oral tradition passed on by those with their GUI well
poisoned by X11, who then complain when everybody else does it
differently?
You're being ironic or something, right? You don't actually believe
that people's personal preferences have to be backed up by research do
you?
I've never used FFM either - but if I was implementing it I'd make
damn sure I consulted someone who had and respected their preferences.
