Hi I think both the startup menu and the save-setting stuff should be addressed in 5.0, since we will be reorganizing the user-interface a lot anyway. For the 4.4.x we perhaps should focus more on backend stuff, where we don't have to write code for winboard and xboard separately... (for example: cleanup code, add more variant support, prepair code, so that xboard/winboard can display more then one board in parallel (for simuls, examining or observing games, bughouse, etc))
