This should include user-test. Maybe we should make a poll on www.gimp.org to solve this problems. I think we have to make polls to solve this problems, otherwise there is no possible solution to improve the UI. UI's tend to stay the same even if they are bad. Ok, first idea for poll: -Do you use the bucket-fill 1. All the time 2. I normally use "fill with foreground/background-color" 3. Only to fill with pattern. 4. What is bucket fill? Ralf
