Well, crappy does not give me much detail. Is it
- difficult to understand
- not HIG-compliant (point-by-point, if possible)
- ??
Actually, the more details you'd give me, the more I could fix by 2.4 
(or 2.6 if it goes there).

Which version of XFree do you use? Did you set "Global settings" (which 
effectively disables all entry fields) or "User-defined"?

There is an extensive help, but I know people never read this - but you 
are the first person I heard the complains about bad UI from - so I'd 
really appreciate more details (BTW, I extensively use tooltips - did 
they make things a bit easier?). Do you expect do get some kind of 
druid? I could accept this feature request - but not in 2.4 timeframe 
definitely (even if gswitchit will not go there and I will not have to 
stick to the feature freeze - I just won't have time for anything good 
in this department).

Thanks for the support:)
