I have already explained, for a desktop it is necessary a common look for the various environments. It can be obtained following the GNUstep standard, adopted by Windowmaker. GTK 1.x has the graphical engines to match exactly the same look. It is only necessary to find the way to start that bastard of Nautilus 1.0.6, which should be docked as for desktop and main file manager. As for KDE 3.x, I'll try to hack it to add on the old 'kdestep' style, even if I have no idea if I'll be able of mixing the sources in the correct way. > Installation tools are cool.

This is an optional, as for desktops, because simply reading the Handbook and the LINT file, the compilation goes perfectly at the first attempt. In any case, it would be nice to have such tool as a part of a customized 'sysinstall'. VITTORI
