While you make some good points, I think Uwe has a point too. In years of
trying to get working configs, from about slink, through woody, sarge, sid
and finally Ubuntu & Xorg, I've rarely got working configurations via hand
editing the config file without enormous effort. A good gui tool would be a
nice thing.
