I'm always fixing them so fast I forget to write them down. :-(

It's usually in the middle of a class, since I don't spend too
much time on UNIX machines, generally. And there, I usually
just want the problem to go away. Later, I can't recall what
the problem was, exactly.

Today, however, I happened to be setting the size of a text
widget, so that the widgets would align themselves properly.
They did, only on windows the text widget is about an inch long
and on LINUX is was about 2 feet long. Just exactly the kind
of problem I usually find.

I do agree that most of the problems are widget programs, IF
you are careful, as JD suggests with new RSI tools. And most
of the widget problems only show up if you are fairly anal about
how things look. If you are just slopping it together, the default
stuff works pretty well.

Cheers,

David
