Re: [rox-devel] Rox settings system

[Ken H. <kh...@so...>]

What problem is this trying to solve?  I understand that there is a 
small confusing point/inconsistency about Filer and Session containing 
options that may not be directly appropriate.  But I would think all we 
need for that is one or two separate ROX-Options apps.  Why change the 
current system for App Options?
