Hi, here are some links to discussion about the GIMP user interface and how Inkscape could benefit from it: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=3546965&forum_id=36054 http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=3546964&forum_id=36054 http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=3548256&forum_id=36054 The latter link shows some fundamental misunderstandings. Almost all issues the author brings up here only exist because he didn't understand the user interface and how to configure it to his needs. Still interesting to read though... Sven
