Hey Timothy I am trying to determine if there is a valid problem that deserves a report. You referred specially to kmail, knode and Firefox, but you start of by mentioning the Administration, System and Settings menu -- I am not sure how that is relevant to comparing your use cases on Fedora and WinXP as neither of those apps fall under those categories. There used to be a control panel type app in Fedora, but no one cared about it, so it died off. But back on the question, how is your usage of these type of apps easier in WinXP than in Fedora? -- Fedora 9 : sulphur is good for the skin ( www.pembo13.com )
