I don't doubt that. However, the software I write (and will write in the future) is being aimed at desktop users, who don't have any good reason to avoid using a GUI. And for that I need a pretty extensive knowledge of the environment. The more I know, the better (and more useful) the programs I write will be. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Linux Users Group.
