the Sugar copy/paste/theming etc. The point of my question was not so<br>
much to question those goals as much as to ask if we have data re what<br>
percentage of "legacy" applications are multiwindow? If it is a small<br>
percentage, then maybe we shouldn't be so focused on their support at<br>
the expense of the simplicity we are striving for in the whole. Again,<br>
as useful as The Gimp is, it is a mess with any WM, so we should be<br>
wary of it skewing the rest of the discussion.<br>
