Not good (was: ALT moving windows)

	A helicopter pilot and his passenger get lost over Lake Washington
one very foggy afternoon.  In desperation, the pilot flies up to the first
office building he finds.

	He holds a sign to the office window that says:

"WHERE ARE WE?"

	A person in the office building holds up a sign in response:

"YOU'RE IN A HELICOPTER"

	The pilot promptly sets a course for the airport and lands the
helicopter safely.

	After they land, the passenger asks the pilot, "How did you know
how to get back to the airport?"

	"Easy," responds the pilot.  "The response was both technically
accurate and completely useless.  Once I knew we were at Microsoft
Technical Support, it was easy get my bearings."

-----------------

	I keep imagining my mother trying to use Gnome.  If I can't figure
out how to configure E, how would she?

	And why does WindowMaker show up in the Gnome Configuration Tool
as a window manager option if it actually breaks Gnome?

	Finally, as the popularity of Gnome increases, how are we going to
deal with questions that are related to the specific window manager (such
as mine)?  There is no "enlightenment-users" mailing list, and the people
on the E. "dev" mailing list have not answered my question.  This is
frustrating as hell.
