Yes. Those are two fundamental functions in today's world being watched
by Big Brother. :-)

That's the point of my letter. Is there anyone who gather suggestions
and inform in corpore appropriate developers/maintainers?

Here you are. What can substitute
1) faulty "gentoo"  (GTK+ 1.2)
2) faulty and withdrawn "gftp"  (GTK+ 1.2)?

3) emelfm (GTK+ 1.2)
4) dillo with patches for I18, tabs, and frames (found in DSL Linux)
5) sylpheed (GTK+ 1.2)

Those applications (and others) can allow me to create low resources
set of application for LearN@BSD GTK1 CD-ROM (see my WWW).

Perhaps someone has an idea what such gtk1 set should contain? Of
course it is aimed at desktop users first. But I think such set would
be useful for admins as well - he'd get basic desktop apps for
everyday pleasure. :-)

This prevalent "policy" of DIY (do it yourself) is frustrating. I can
do it, no problem. But cannot we create wiki page with
requisition for new apps or old apps with new functions? Cannot such
activity be more tidy up?
