Nice work, we can certainly add a link to this on the GAP website.

BTW, did you know that if you use metacity rather than sawfish, with
most themes the window manager fonts and widgets will automatically get
bigger when you choose a bigger gtk font?  And they'll use the gtk theme
colours you've chosen too  :)

(Metacity only really works with GNOME 2.0, though, AFAIK-- if you're
using Sawfish I guess you might still be on 1.4?)

Cheeri,
