>> little question about idlde for Linux

My 2� on the subject. I started up idlde on linux,
and not only does it have a couple of "features" that annoy me
(no color syntax, different hotkeys than the windows version, etc)
but one of the most basic features was all buggered up - the placement
of the windows.

I had the project window open, even though it was listed as 'closed'
in the menu items (i.e. I did not have the option to 'hide' it, rather I had
the option to 'show' it.) Also, the project window did not fit into the
default window size for it, as the labels and buttons were not fully
visible,
in fact I couldn't really tell what that window was.
I started randomly opening and closing windows to try to get rid of this
window and hid the log window. I then selected show the log window,
and it would not reapear.
Anyways, after about 10 minutes of fiddling and a few restarts of IDL
I was able to get the windows acting properly.

That level of failure in a gui is just horrendous. If it was a version 0
prototype
pushed out the door too fast, it would be horrendous. The fact that it is
an integral part of a program that is ~20 years old is mind boggling.

Cheers,
bob

PS The de under windows is quite nice though.
