Want to come and teach them? Our sales team is *completely* computer illiterate, and also practically incapable of learning. What's more, they only last for 3 or 4 weeks, and then move on and another comes to replace them. Anyway, I have tried to teach them, seriously. But everything has a limit, and my patience is no exception. > I like having the option to launch multiple applications, eg: > web browser/s > text editor/s > terminals Yes. The *option*. I was suggesting making this an option. I believe the 'itask' launcher / taskbar in Enlightenment-0.17 has an option like this per launcher ... ie you can tell the launcher to either behave as a normal launcher and just keep on launching apps, or to switch into 'task manager' mode after the 1st instance is launched. The thing is that this is clearly what a large number of computer illiterate people are expecting ... nay INSISTING on. I'm not saying this should be the only behaviour, but it would be nice as an option. -- Daniel Kasak IT Developer NUS Consulting Group Level 5, 77 Pacific Highway North Sydney, NSW, Australia 2060 T: (+61) 2 9922-7676 / F: (+61) 2 9922 7989 email: dkasak@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx website: http://www.nusconsulting.com.au _______________________________________________ gnome-list mailing list gnome-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-list
