Yes, puhleeze!  I'd be eternally grateful if someone could look into
getting this implemented, although i suppose that this will have to
wait until after the code freeze and most likely even the release of
GNOME-1.0.  In any case this would clearly be a definite advantage in
useability for the user interface to what the KDE people are currently
offering.  And naturally GNOME does aim at being far better in any
instance than any of the competitors, right?!  ;-)

The bad thing about being a non-coder is that we just can't simply do
what we propose.  But thanks for listening to us! :-)

                                 Thank you, P. *8^)
