I was told by Visix employees that fear of a lawsuit from Apple was the reason there wasn't one. That might be so... being an "techie," I suspect it may have as much to do with the fact that it's kind of a pain to put icons on the root window under X, without getting cooperation from the window manager :). Same reason we have a "desktop panel" instead of putting icons on the root. Even so, though, LG 2.0 is more like the Finder than any other desktop file manager *I've* ever seen... Personally, I hate the trash can on my Mac, especially on a large screen :)... -- Amanda Walker amanda@visix.com Visix Software Inc. ...!uunet!visix!amanda -- "Long as you're not afraid, nobody can run your life for you.
