Re: Preferences [Was: a whole lot of other things, too]

Maybe a stupid question, but what on earth is this thread doing at
desktop-devel? It seems to me that it would be better suited on the
usability list, since a lot of it and similar topics has already been
discussed on the usability list, and that list seems in general to be
the proper place for it.

Just my opinion,
Christian
