Cannot complain.  I think that screenshot would look better if were taller
than it was wide (invert current proportions) but it is a good clear and
clean design ideally suited to Gnome 2.16.

(I'm still tempted to hack my own cracktistic fork in an application style
but if I ever do I'll be sure to let you know.  Deep down I sometimes like
having a zillion features and distractions and secretly use KDE
sometimes.)

Thanks for all your efforts.
