lol :-) To keep it similar to Write I had been using "Portable  
Document Format (PDF)" as the string but thought it too ungainly, I'd  
just taken it out prior to release:

But your right, I just had a trigger finger on that change. I have a  
bunch more export formats to add in an upcoming release (PNG, JPG) so  
that menu will get larger anyway. I'll revert. :-)

Yes... Tell me about it... It's been a real fix'er'upper as far as the  
original GNOME Labyrinth UI 'design' (I use that word speculatively).  
Lot's of things I'd like to improve, but lots of spaghetti...

I set-up that 'click to add a first thought'-bubble to be part of a  
multi step help hint to get you going, the intent was once you added  
your first thought, you'd get some new help hint message telling you a  
few more tricks. Good idea, bad idea?

Thanks for the test and feedback!
