Yes, but in order to increase user friendlyness I only suggest:

   Bug detected in GVD 

   Please report [see GVD Manual under Reporting Bugs]
   with the contents of the file /home/randhol/.gvd/log the following
   information:

Also please please don't put the Help menu on the right side of the
menubar. One doesn't not notice it out there. It is now considered bad
GUI design to put it on the right side as the eye follows the menus from
the left and stop at what seems to be the last; here : Data.  

Now most programs have stopped using the right justified menu item and
thus one assumes that there is no Help without looking further. I
discovered it only just now and I have used the program several times
now...
