glib/gtk+/nautilus/transmission (it shows me base 10) Note that Windows is inconsistent. It sometimes shows base 10, sometimes base 2. Furthermore, the only reason they left it as base 2 was because other OSes did (was once in a MSDN blog). Suggesting Windows as comparison is pretty arbitrary. In any case, my main point is that I don't see why development should be done within a distribution. E.g. you're advocating changing this, but this is basically repeating a discussion that has been held upstream various times. -- Regards, Olav PS: Above list of programs is incomplete; there are more which show base 10.
