I also thought one "characteristic" was to be a GNOME application
(especially since you wanted GM to get into GNOME core). Then it seems
strange if you want to be different from the rest of GNOME. If you don't
like the recommendation, then suggest a change to the recommendation and
provide your arguments for that. The HIG isn't set in stone.
Just ignoring the GNOME recommendation without an attempt to change it
seems like an extremely silly thing to do if you want to call
GnomeMeeting a GNOME application. Likewise for ignoring the
recommendation just because you don't like it, and only accepting the
parts of the recommendations that you happen to like from an aestethics
point of view.

Moreover, as I've already said, I don't see why this issue was brought
up to begin with, as I don't see a "non-frame" recommendation in the
HIG.


> Moreover, frames add a logic in the general design.

That seems like a good argument to bring up when suggesting the HIG to
be changed in this area.
