The scrollbars in Win98 are ugly. They are too thick.

You can use Qt and all the KDE-stuff to use your f*cking Windows-GUI.
As for now I consider the UNIX-GUIs more configurable and much nicer.
I recently tested KDE3 under Tru64 (OSF on DEC-Alpha) and found out that
you can do almost everything with this GUI. Though I don't like KDE at
all, but color-fading window-close-buttons when the mouse-cursor is
over them are kind of coolness, isn't it? Just like modern games.

Well. owning Microsoft-hardware shows complete unawareness of technical
details.

Bug in XFree? I guess there is more than one, but does it disturb your
work?

Should I be honest? You have absolutely no clue what'ya talking about.
You are not able to figure out how to change a slider-bar but claim
to be a kernel-hacker? 

All you've presented is FUD, every point can be disproved within ten
minutes. How much did M$ pay you for this mail?

And now I suggest you better FOAD, no longer disturbing this mailinglist.
