desktop on my tests [ so let's forget about if all is OK - let say the bug
is gone ] - anyway Kmon did not understand - my message was : I need
support for wine to work OK under Gnome, let's find the problem.

I dont' know too much about GTK and gnome internals - I am a web designer /
programmer [ javascript - actionscript - php - sql syntax / corel - adobe -
xara - fireworks ], I'm not yet a gtk guy but I am capable to understand
the main line.

on PHP if I have a main loop for example I can decide inside if a function
can have acces to some objects defined by other class ( ..can break another
function / loop or not ) or not .. on other words I can tell to script: "U
can't stop dbus / X / hal because u'r not so important to do that".
I guess under gnome [ gtk ] must be a similar way.. If not - then we must do
something on that direction.

Also : *support for recently used applications*

what means that - r*ecently used applications* ? - for me = support for Wine
- ..to be clear I understand I need support for Wine on Ubuntu for apps'
that I use on my industry [ flash8, fireworks8, dreamweaver8, corel draw
X3, photoshop CS ].

To understand this point : think about all east european countries wich use
Corel Draw (.cdr) as their main DTP format - instead of Adobe Illustrator
(ai, ps, eps, pdf ) - why - because is better - is time savior - has an
ultra customizable interface ( that mean speed ) - superior usability -
perfect tools for rasters or vectors - perfect print preview settings - pdf
perfect export - VBS ideal for repetitive tasks - huge range of export
formats - multiple pages per document - ICM - spot colors - linked text
frames ( as on Xpress, Page Maker, InDesign, Ventura, Scribus ).

Photoshop - a litlle bit better than Corel Photopaint - is master of western
DTP industry.
Dreamweaver, Flash, Fireworks - masters of web design / development - ( all
on a single Studio pack )

Now make the connections - 2 companies > Adobe and Corel == lot of milions
of Web and DTP professionals wich can see Linux as an opportunity ( for me
XP is 200 ..not too much ..for a little / medium printer with 25 computers
the sum is about 5000 .. for a big print house can be a lot more - only for
OS - also think about network problems under XP wich work verry strange on
a bigger network ). Is a very oriented industry here( with clear wishes
and goals ), not Joe Doe wich like to have support for music / videos /
emails / games / documents ( 4 from 5 problems are already solved pretty
well on Ubuntu and other Linux distributions ).

So working for Linux cause, I work for my industry cause, wich is a huge
one.

Unfortunately my time is limited. I dont have time to understand answers
like : "...the problem you report has nothing to do with this bug, please
file a new one", because *support for recently used applications -* mean
support for Wine for me and nothing else.

Sorry from my side if.. because a language issue ( I speak romanian language
all day long ), maybe I don't understand the message. If I wrong please
correct me.
