The idea to post these usability studies here comes from me, as we want to
make certain issues more public.

More detailed investigation is needed. All confuction can be related to fact
that Kexi:
- does into use Koffice's main window
- inherits some actions from KMDI (the original one,
not the current castrated KMdi)
- 'File' menu means in fact 'Project' menu; we even have had it named
'Project' but for usability reasons we reverted to 'File'.

If there's any unknown bug, let me know... Since beginning, Kexi does not
force you to have installed anything except kdelibs. Kexi _contains_ database
server (SQLite). A warning you can read at configure stage is... just a
friendly warning.

It's not Kexi's custom action. KMDI library gives us "Close all" action in
Window menu for free...
I will soon add more hints here for remaining problems reported by Alan.
