Well, it's nice that you figured that out, but I still haven't - yes, the
speed problem is inside gtk+, but not the rest of the problems.

I claimed and still claim that I cannot set shortcuts in the layers
dialog, which was possible before, and posed a problem for other people in
the past, too.
I would call this hidden, yes, and I still think it's a usability problem,
because 1.2 clearly worked better.

Well, but it isn't :(

I don't understand you. I described various problems. You claim they are
simply not there. Why?
I am just trying to explain the problems to you, but your only reactions
are ignorance, hostility and bullshit like this.
You *are* ignoring these problems, because you don't even *acknowledge*
them. The worst problem is that you intimidate people who report such
problems.
Why??

You are certainly not in the position to tell others about good style :(

If somebody agrees with your assessment of problems you start accusing
them of spreading FUD, twisting words or starting flamewars. Please
*do* re-read the thread, if there is a flamewar, then you started it by
stopping to discuss the probem and instead resorting to needless insults.
I don't think you are interested in a flameware, neitehr am I. You seem
to be interested in silencing problem reports, though, as if they didn't
exist.

There are ample examples of that :)

Your logic is broken. Wether you worked on usability or not has no
relevance to wether you are ignoring *these* usability problems or not.

Your bullying tactics happen to work with other people, that's the
difference. Obviously there are a lot of people who can piss you off,
judging by your insulting reactions to others, too. And no, singling me
out doesn't impress me, as I went through the archives and know better...
What does that buy you, I wonder, though.
