Desktop Metaphor

[Paul Berger]

This is my issue with a lot of Linux distros they seem to try to hard to 
look and work like mac or like windows while I would rather have them 
look and work like the xwindows I knew and loved.  One of my biggest 
aggravations is cut and paste I would very much rather it worked more 
like it used to on X.

Paul.
