Forgot one:
5) when will Mozilla-based applications finally start creating consistently
sized GUI elements? Doesn't matter what it is... firefox, thunderbird, or
mozilla itself... they all fsck this up.
For an example, see http://members.cox.net/msw/thunderbird_prefs.png
Resizing the dialog makes all the controls fit, but we won't discuss why
you'd be allowed to resize it in the first place, rather than just making
it big enough for all the controls.
Actually, it's truly amusing the actions this preferences window accepts,
according to its hints:
_NET_WM_ALLOWED_ACTIONS(ATOM) = _NET_WM_ACTION_CHANGE_DESKTOP,
_NET_WM_ACTION_SHADE, _NET_WM_ACTION_CLOSE, _NET_WM_ACTION_MOVE,
_NET_WM_ACTION_MINIMIZE, _NET_WM_ACTION_RESIZE, _NET_WM_ACTION_FULLSCREEN,
_NET_WM_ACTION_MAXIMIZE_HORZ, _NET_WM_ACTION_MAXIMIZE_VERT
Stuff like that just makes applications look like they have poor finish.
