Here's a thought that just hit me out of the blue; what if there were a winelib based window manager / desktop environment? It would be possible to use the wine look and feel to craft a familiar looking and fast environment in which users can run their legacy Windows apps and feel at home. At the same time, the Programs menu could even be tied in to .wine/drive_c/Program Files Just an idea, not a request :P Phil
