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.

Please name some GNU/FSF look and feel ideas which have actually been
written in NeXTstep and distributed. 

Please name some GNU/FSF look and feel ideas which have actually been
written in Motif and distributed. 

Please name some GNU/FSF look and feel ideas which have actually been
written in Windows 3.0 and distributed. 

I mean all this whining about look n feel and virtually no Graphical GNU
tools exist! On any major Graphical environment.

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.

How about GNUware with an interface for the rest of us?
