Yes, viewed from here it looks pretty similar to other Linux apps. Since like most people I use a mixture of packages from the two large Linux denominations, and also a few from one or two of the splinter churches, there isn't exactly much of a standard look and feel, but Rev behaves perfectly acceptably in these terms now that the file dialogs have gone native, with 2.9. There are still some difficulties with printing. One is that at least under one particular Debian installation, where every other application finds and uses the printer, Rev does not. It could be an oddity of the installation, but it seems strange that Rev is without exception the only app to have a problem. The other issue is printing fields (bug filed). Printing cards works fine. But I haven't been able to get printing fields to work properly on a couple of installations, even ones where the printer is found and used correctly. Not completely sure that in a standalone, default folders work exactly as one would expect either, but I fixed that by making the user set the default folder explicitly at first use. It still does not support multiple desktops properly. This is probably the only remaining really large way in which it does not work like all other Linux apps. You cannot, for instance, put your dictionary on a separate desktop. The only way is to open a second copy in the second desktop. This is serious, and its been a filed bug for a long time now, but we seem to have to live with it.
