I will agree that Star Office and KOffice have a hell of a long way to go before catching up to MS Office or for that matter MS Works.
I'm going to go off on a rant here...brace yourself... One thing that *really* gets on my nerves is that these companies can't seem to get it through their heads that they don't have to write an entire window management scheme to make X applications. Look at this HancomSheet screen shot: http://www.hancom.com/en/product_service/sheet0823.html See how the daughter window is decorated *NOTHING* like the main window is? Folks, write to a decent window manager like KDE that knows how to deal with mother/daughter relationships. The rest of us that use sub-par window managers like Blackbox and Sawfish will get by. Blackbox already has the hooks to support netwm, and adding it to other window managers is a lot more trivial than adding the latest transparent doomawhatcher. Somehow, we'll get by. StarOffice does it. Appearantly Hancom does it. ApplixWare did it. KOffice doesn't, though! Oh, and WTF is up with Opera? Does it still do implement that cranial-rectal-inversion scheme where it demands that every browser window be a daughter to an Opera mother window? Folks, I run four pages, an average of eight browser sessions, and a half-dozen other X applications. I have no time to screw around with an application demanding that I interract with it a certain way. Browsers help *me* do real work, not the other way around. I know, this is a feature not a bug, but can we make this runtime-configurable for crying out loud? That's it. I'm done. Go back to your happy lives, hackers... ===== -- -=|JP|=- Hit me! - http://www.xanga.com/cowboydren/ Jon Pennington | Debian 2.3 -o) cowboydren @ yahoo . com | Auto Enthusiast /\\ Kansas City, MO, USA | ICQ UIN 69 67 29 31 _\_V __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
