   You mean 2 different plugins?  That should work, but seems ugly.  If its
   ok with Robert, I can live with it.  I have no idea how to go about it
   though.

Well, development is the time to do this.  I wouldn't want to go into
a release like that, but for development I have no problem.

As it happens, the reason I want the selectable dither algorithm stuff
is mostly so people can experiment, although there would be a bit more
reason to have that in a production release.

   For everyone's enlightenment (even if you don't use gnome), I am
   currently working on shifting the entire gui into a GtkNotebook.  It is
   fairly slow going, as I'm having to restructure the entire table based
   gui into multiple chunks.  I'm hoping that the result will allow printer
   specific additional notebook pages, as well as hide some detail from
   casual users.

Don't worry.  Time is one thing we have plenty of.  We'll do the
release when *we* think it's good and ready.  If there's one mistake I
don't want to make it's to rule out interesting and useful ideas in a
rush to get something out the door.
