macosx.com is totally screwed up, I'll try to post my reply again...

Hell, I could even rename applications! I'd hate to think what would happen if I did that with Mail.app. I might as well put a bullet in my head.

Good grief Apple, your update mechanism SUCKS! What, I can't move Mail.app into another directory without everything going haywire?! There used to be a time when file and folder location didn't matter. I could put the system folder wherever, I could move my applications wherever, I could...

The problem with xinerama is few window managers are xinerama aware, and most that are have crappy xinerama support. When you run a window manager which isn't xinerama aware or run one with crappy xinerama support (or don't run one), X11 apps can end up drawing in areas which don't exist. This...

I run Debian in VirtualPC and use XDarwin to display graphics. This allows me to run wine which is often better than running Win98 in VirtualPC. VPC in OS X is definitely slow however, probably because they are using the old event manager code instead of Carbon events. I think I'll try to...

Everybody should complain to Apple that Mac OS X is inferior to MacOS in this regard. In MacOS the proper method to find an application (to upgrade or launch it) is to look it up by it's creator code, NOT it's location or name!
