Yes, and I have no quible with that, to the contrary: HIG within the
GNOME context makes sense and I have not, for instance, objected to Rob
making changes to gtk dialogues. I am unhappy because the current
changes seem to assume that the HIG guidelines should be applied not to
the gtk interface, but wholesale. (There might be case for adopting some
of the HIG guidelines for other platforms including win32, but that case
has to be made and scrutinised.)
Also, I have no principal objections to changing our UI on win32
elsewhere. I am unhappy about the commit first - talk second approach.
If we set down that path, the HEAD will become a mess that no single
person will be able to fix -- I really do not wnat to have to remember
which commits I should assume are to stay and which commits are likely
to be reverted.
