Subject: Re:  bounit: space is wasted in the gui

Ok, never noticed that users don't know that. I thought that is known because 
windows and kde uses this. I use it all the time and kcontrol without that 
isn't useful.

About the the dialog program. I don't like programs without a toolbar. That is 
because I use the Mac toolbar on the top, when a program doesn't have one, 
ther is the desktop toolbar.

I think adding Save/Load/Help/Bugreport/Quit buttons waste more space and it 
doesn't look really good. A small toolbar doesn't hurt. But big ugly buttons 
on the bottom....

have fun
Felix
