I'm not convinced we really need to go to all this trouble. I'd prefer
if people concentrated in rewriting some of the modules. We've got
pretty successful replacements for gnome-calculator and
gnome-character-map. gnome-search-tool is sweet - we're really just
looking for 2 more rewrites.....Who's game? :)
