Or Python.

I checked out tkdesk and it looks pretty good actually. Would be very
nice with a good filebrowser in Ada and GTk+ that one could promote.
Just don't do it like Nautilus and make it more for screen shots than
for actual use. I liked the drag and then you get a window to choose the
action as opposed to the M$ way where one have to right-click to do
this. I always end up rightclicking. One thing I like with the M$
explorer is the Ctrl-C Ctrl-V Ctrl-X shortcuts. It makes it easier to
move files in many respects and I have seen that old people usually
prefer this as holding down the mouse button and moving the mouse can be
a challange. Also on laptops as the builtin micepads usually suck.
