Maybe I understand the style guide term not write. I thought all apps should 
have the same GUI with the same menubar and so on. But you mean a consistens 
between the different apps. That would be very ok and is really needed.

Yes, you are right. It was my idea ;-) I think the unix approach for each 
task one very specialized tool is very good, but it is better to combine 
these different tools under one (for each subject/topic) gui.
