I must admit that I always had a good laugh at your statements and I'm not taking you really serious. You can continue to call me an asshole without any problem at my part. I just refuse to work with you since I do not like the style you use to propose your ideas even though you made some good points. > On the side note, one thing that could use serious serious improvement is > the preferences dialog.

A lot of other programs (not only GNOME) are using the same interface (Netscape, Mozilla for example) and IMHO it's a good way to present the user with a large amount of configuration options.
