Oh, yes, that's a design decision wich one can agree or disagree, and I=20
find it more comfortable, too. What I was talking about is of less=20
interest in the project, but is about attributes in general (since=20
someone mentioned somewhere the possibility to include the attribute=20
library in the hslibs, and I think that would be a good thing): the=20
ability for the user of the Attr library to change the IO monad to=20
something else - it would not affect htoolkit since it has ffi calls=20
and so it would choose the IO monad.

Thanks ;) I still have to take your gnome2.4 route, though, but I think=20
this will happen really soon.
