Re: Terminology: app, window, workspace, part of the window, file, folder

[Paul Cutler <pcutler gnome org>]

Hi Phil,

One quick thought - I don't really like the term "app" as it's not a
real word.  I don't think application is overly technical and I'd
prefer us to use real words and not slang.  Just my opinion.

Thanks.

Paul
