Oh, I forgot to mention that I don't find the Vim gtk2 icons near as intuitive as the gtk1 ones. And I really take the mswin'ifcation of UNIX (gtk2 refers to "folder", where gtk1 calls the things "directory") And most of all I totally cannot stand the GNOME dumbass reversal of umpteen years of UNIX ordering of [OK] vs. [Cancel] boxes. The GNOME folks have now created major inconstancy in the ordering of the various applications I run depending on if it is a basic Motif, KDE, or GNOME toolkit consumer. The ordering inconstancy has caused my muscle memory to choose the wrong thing (loosing data). -- -- David (obrien@FreeBSD.org)
