Just two things which are not unimportant in my opinion:

- I think the Move button should be removed. I think it is superfluous.
I have never found a single instance where I might consider using it.
Seeing a move is done with the Show button and that's fine, but a Move
button? If I really want to play one of the analyzed moves my instinct
has always been to do it myself. I have seen some friends who are now
power-users of gnubg and thus highlight a number of interesting issues.
This is one they have agreed upon.

I do sometimes use the functionality at least. I double click on a move to execute it. For newbies who don't know this feature a button is better, since it's simply obvious.

- I'd be careful about replacing some things such as the ply-numbers by
icons. The reason is that 1, 2, 3, etc. require no further explanation
other than they represent 1 ply, 2 plies, etc. If you replace them with
an icon whose function is not *immediately* obvious it will cause
problems of usage. It isn't even enough to create logical images, as

Ack.
