What is really needed is a set of human interface guidelines for Linux

another for no good reason other than that person A felt like doing it
like this and person B like that. You can talk about freedom all you
want but the users do not care about this kind of thing, it just looks
like the left hand is not talking to the right. Professional users
(rightfully) demand a consistent interface, unless there is a good
reason (extra functionality) not to provide one.
I definitely agree. One of the main reasons PHAT was created was
to encourage standard behavior across apps. I don't think folks
are terribly interested in actually getting this done, but it's
Really Important.
I'm all ears.
