David Williams Please name some GNU/FSF look and feel ideas which have actually been written in Xlib/Xt and distributed. No emacs under X does not count. Er.. why Xlib/Xt and not Xprotocol? And why doesn't emacs count? [ statements of the about "Please name ..." for elided ] I mean all this whining about look n feel and virtually no Graphical GNU tools exist! On any major Graphical environment. And you have a GUI recommendation, that's not questionable legally? I mean HEY I'd like to use something like the Linked-List Visualization for Debugging as written in the May 91 issue of IEEE software that runs on top of gdb. Sounds neat. Are you planning on writing something like that? (If not, note that while FSF software is freely _redistributable_ they have their own priorites about what to do when, though they will listen extremely well to your priorities if you pay them enough).
