Hi Lars-- Yes--from what I see, it looks much better. A suggestion would be to include a <Help> tab or menu with a good, brief "walk-thru" of what it does.....I have noted a rather negative thread on ubuntuforums about this & I think that you are heading the right direction.
Where is the "white-list" located? I have several extra programs installed & would like to verify that this part works...you can respond here, PM me thru ubuntuforums or contact me at autocrosser1 at gmail.com Cheers!!!!
