Must be a fairly new compromise - but glad to hear that they've come along a bit. Maybe their future Google Earth install package for Linux won't bundle wine. :) In any case, I think this really just gets to my point - people who develop FOSS aren't doing it with the express goal of making your life difficult - they just don't always have the same itches. If you help them out or ask NICELY sometimes they'll even help scratch yours. Rich
