By dragging the file to the desktop printer icon the application associated with the file type knows I want to print it. Your way is open application with double click on file, open print option in menu... I used Mac OS for many years, drag and drop desktop printing was considered progress when we got it. It is.

No, I watch satellite TV (the BBC) using VDR and the VDR-xine plugin. FC1 = no problems. Install VDR, get xine source and patch with VDR-xine, make xine, make vdr. Install lirc, configure remote. Start VDR and xine, teach xine remote commands, watch TV. From day one after buying the DVB- S card to first evening of TV = 1 week. FC3, third week? forgotten... No remote yet. No udev script found so far works with DVB. I have to manually create devices. It took me one week to be able to watch TV again. lirc is not working. At all. A PVR without remote is about as good as a... (almost got carried away...). I can't record shows to disk. Dear Colin, tell me more about progress! We are all working together towards a better desktop OS n'est pas? By going back to FC1 with a better X server and hardware support that works I can get on with what is most important: my life. Shame, because what actually does still work in FC3 is faster, smoother, better looking.
