Developer newsgroups? I don't see '.developers.only' anywhere in the
title. I do see '.public', and until such time as somebody can explain
to me why what I'm saying doesn't qualify as 'general' and 'mozilla', or
show that I am not a member of the 'public', I'll keep right on talking
plain and telling it like it so sadly is (ie what you refer to as
'slagging off Mozilla').

Check which facts again? I'm quite well aware of what a mess
Unix/Linux's lack of picking a lane when it comes to window managers has
caused. Frankly, it surprises me that Mozilla *doesn't* roll its own on
these platforms, it certainly couldn't make things any worse.
And am I mistaken, or has nobody yet come up with a passable explanation
as to why the file save dialogs have been singled out as 'native is OK',
while virtually nothing else is, eg tree controls?
