That is why I wanted people to read it.  First of all, because it
makes us -mere programmers- understand UI from a demistified point of
view.  It is no longer a "magic art" of those with an artistic brain.
It is a simpler, easier to understand problem.

The second reason is to get people looking at problem in GNOME, and
actually fix them.   This message was originally posted on
gnome-love gnome org, the mailing list for training new hackers into
making changes to GNOME.
