Hello,

I think that the GUI suggestions are interesting but don't forget to think 
about didactical problems. Somtimes I miss that kind of thoughts here. 

For example a programs like KVerbos or KNorskVerb: Often it is mentioned to 
extend the program so that it can conjugate other languages. Surely it is 
interesting to keep this way open if someone comes and says I do the 
conjugation class for - let's say - Frensh. To extend KVerbos only such 
classes would be necessary. But for a learner this isn't interesting. More 
interesting would be to offer exercises in sentences because this is 
interesting from a didactically point of view. 

Or KBruch: The program is intersting. But from a didactically point of view 
there are missing some things. For example:
- a visual representation of fractions in circles, rectangeles, ... for 
beginners
- the possibility to practic conversions from fractions to decimal numbers and 
vica versa.  1/8 = 0.125
- the calculation with 'mixed numbers' like  2 1/3 + 5 1/7 = 
- train actions like   1/3 = 3/9 or   15/45 = 1/3. I don't know the Englisch 
words for this actions.

Maybe it would be interesting to adjust the programs to the screen resolution. 
For example 800x600 or others.
For mathematical programs it would be interesting to configure if a '.' or a 
',' is used in decimal numbers.
