Maybe off tangent but still relevant to the overall discussion as it is
ultimately about usability. How such usability is defined depends on the
person using the program. I feel quite comfortable using Rox-Filer
exactly as it is. Others seem to want interface changes which could
possibly alter the way Rox works. Too many changes will force the Rox
developers to move away from it's original 'Risc on X' design.

Well, I can't answer these questions. Thomas would know more about this.
