-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 The gui is a very very hard issue to solve. The problem with the gui right now is that while gnopernicus is a good idea, it has a real real real long way to go. I don't concidder it useable at all right now. Gentoo's main goal though with the accessibility project is to eventually have a gui config that works best to the disabled users needs, but untill gnopernicus is in a useable state, that is very very dificult to do.
