We figured we were not helping creativity.  And we really should work
on making GNOME not just an attempt to provide a GUI for Unix systems, 
but rather the next generation GUI in terms of simplicity, ease of
use, power and comfort.

So we need as many ideas as possible, assemble them conceptually and
deploy it.

Not an easy way that I know of.  Bonobo will make this possible
though.

Yes, agreed.  Ettore has a working version for this new dialog box.
It is going to appear in the near future in GNOME.

Best wishes,
Miguel.
