Your idea is interesting. I think if you know how to do it, and if you take the Windows way as model, then you have the basic method the end users will understand. In fact I find it rather interesting and I would be interested to see that implemented as a possible option, or as a feature, or a plugin : any. I also bring Linux desktops to newbies/end users sometimes, and I hope I will even do it more and more often as time goes. > >Let me > present their look at it: > - What that table means?
