You asked for users. I'm surprised it's only 75%. Personally, I would
be happy for all tabs to go away from the user interface. I thought
GNUstep usually used the listbox and panel combination for the same
effect? Apart from when I break things(!), that works better for me.

I saw it on -ui, but I couldn't really picture this because I
don't know what you mean by "the little document icon" - nothing
appears near the close button of Finder in GWorkspace 0.6.3

I assumed it was my fault. I've not upgraded because I don't
get how to build 0.6.5 as a package. Should I build GWLib as
one package and GWorkspace as another? I think I emailed you
about this again recently, as 0.6.3 crashes too much for me.

Now, the Finder interface puzzles me anyway. Why do I need to
drag a folder to its shelf *and* select it? Why can't it search
all folders on the shelf if none are selected? Alternatively,
why not search the selection in the File Viewer if there's
nothing on the Finder shelf?

Regardless, I look forward to seeing the announcement of 0.6.6
or 0.7.0 on info-gnustep - I use GWorkspace a lot every login.
