Yea, I interpret it as a double meaning like that. Its a "glider"... its
usable, clean, simple... it glides across a proverbial surface... does
that make any sense? Plus the name "Glider" fits in with the whole odd-
ball names for GNOME apps that have nothing to do with the actual
functionality of the application... "Muine" "Epiphany" "Evolution"
"Blam!" "Straw" "Totem" and so on.
