Date: Sun, 25 Apr 2010 16:48:13 -0700 The point wasn't so much that Xorg/Xfree86 isn't a valid distribution anymore. The point was that the user was requesting an enhancement to `better' denote the fact that there are more options available on the list. The only problem is that `more:' is very localized to the English language and isn't suitable for other locales... and in this day in age with IKEA-like solutions using only pictures to guide users, unless you are going to solve it in a localized manner, using words in place of images only increases complexity. A usability engineer may argue that I'm wrong, but that's how I think it should be so we don't have to solve this problem N times. I do agree though. More options should have been more apparent in the libdialog UI. Thanks, -Garrett
