Developer option? Ugh, that's a good way to get rid of that consistency they brag about. Well, Apple's own apps don't do drag-from-anywhere. I haven't really used many 3rd party ones...NeoOffice, Fink, Camino, Adium...about it. If it's added to GNOME/GTK/Ubuntu, can we please make it something that affects all apps, not just ones where the dev decided to be different? "I can click here and move my Firefox, but not Pidgin, is Pidgin broken?" doesn't sound like a good situation. -- Mackenzie Morgan Linux User #432169 ACM Member #3445683 http://ubuntulinuxtipstricks.blogspot.com <-my blog of Ubuntu stuff apt-get moo -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
