So I don't think changing that is a good idea. Why not have the best of both worlds and have the command in two places: both under Edit and under Tools? Then Windows refugees will feel more at home with Linux. P.S. Eric, if this change ends up not being made for Debian, do you think it'd be worth it for me to suggest it to the Ubuntu people? I don't use Ubuntu, but IMO at least Ubuntu users would benefit. -- Jason Spiro: computer consulting with a smile. I also do computer training and spyware removal for homes and businesses.

Ubuntu seeks to follow the HIG, which I believe calls for Edit-Preferences. The only app I've noticed not following this is the new gaim... -- - mdz -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Why not have the best of both worlds and have the command in two places: both under Edit and under Tools? Then Windows refugees will feel more at home with Linux. From a HCI perspective having two menu items that do the exact same thing would be the worst option. It would be extremely confusing and distracting to most users. P.S.

I think Matt already answered this one. -- Eric Dorland [EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ: #61138586, Jabber: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 1024D/16D970C6 097C 4861 9934 27A0 8E1C 2B0A 61E9 8ECF 16D9 70C6 signature.asc Description: Digital signature

The problem is that Tools-Options tend to confuse... I would say linux users, but I won't talk for others without their consent, so I'll say it confuses me. So I don't think it would be a good idea Mickaël
