But it does not integrate the Sugar copy/paste/theming etc. The point of my question was not so much to question those goals as much as to ask if we have data re what percentage of "legacy" applications are multiwindow? If it is a small percentage, then maybe we shouldn't be so focused on their support at the expense of the simplicity we are striving for in the whole. Again, as useful as The Gimp is, it is a mess with any WM, so we should be wary of it skewing the rest of the discussion. -walter On Sun, Sep 21, 2008 at 12:03 PM, Benjamin M.
