It's OK to defend your work... but what is the point of such discussions
if someone promose some new feature, and you (developers of thet program)
tell me OK, but it can be done some other way.
The point of new version of some program is to add some new features, that
previous didn't have, and to be better than concurent.

So if user whant a full screen app, then he will have to get the full
screen app, others will stil have, panel and taskabar, an 10% of efective
workspace.

Let's make some other example!? I whan't on-top window, you don't have
that feature, you say it's too complicated for users! Other WM's have that
feature, than I will use that other with more options, rather than KDE!

I don't know what do you think about average human, in my country an
average user is not that stupid, they all understand programs, and work in
them, even if they are in english.
If average Englishman or American... can't understand OK, Cancel, and have
a meny with more than one option, and gets confused with enormus amount of
data, then I don't have anything more to say about your people.

My point is, please don't underestimate inteligence of an average user.

Sorry I got upset, about all this, when I say something you all say it's
bad, it can't be done, or it's too complicated... But all other WM's have
some of those features, and you don't, no mater how bad or hard it is to
make.
