Hmm, you're right, I was thinking of IE Sux :)  But I have to say it's
just about the feature I like best about IE... when you open a new
window, it comes complete with the page and the history list of the
window you opened it from.  I always get really annoyed when I switch
back to Mozilla/Netscape and it doesn't do this.

I assume Eazel did some usability studies on this kind of thing, or the
ex-Apple employees among them remembered some that Apple did on Finder
:)  As with most bits of GNOME, though, it would be nice if the user
model or conceptual design was written down somewhere, though...

Cheeri,
Calum.
