Which has to be one of my favorite things about OpenLook (from SMI, anyway.)
the little 'graphical-waste-receptical' is labeled 'Wastebasket'. 
Sure enough, if you throw things in it, a little bit of paper pops out
of the top.  (Like the trashcan is full, I guess.)  Since Sun can *prove*
that its windowing technology is independant of Apple and others, this is
almost a slap in the face of look-n-feel suits.  

More religion..
