Well,... :)) I'm not sure about this, but the way rox already is
integrated in xfce now (as "icon view", to be opened from xftree) is
perfectly enough for me; if the rox folks also would include a
"directory tree view" option this would be fine. Then again, as said
before, I'm (out of laziness, while working in terminals most of the
time and thus working with keyboard rather than with mouse) most of
the time tending to use mc, so I don't worry too much about how the
future xfce file management software will look, like - in worst case
(if it might be a bloated and unusable monster similar to G1.4 -
nautilus or konqueror), I just won't use it, but, then, trusting the
abilities of Olivier, Edscott & Co. to make lightweight, fast
software, I am at least curious to see how this merge (?) of rox and
xftree will look like... even if it still will be faster to write
"mc" [ENTER] at a command prompt, same way and same reason why I am
way more often using links or lynx as web browser than anything
else... ;)
  
Btw speaking of being against everything: Ever heard of Uli Stein?

Great. :) Looking around here, in Germany, I was afraid people
already forgot about Rush; at least in most cases, screaming "Rush
rules!" at some concert, people are likely to ask "Who?" ... :))

Cheers,
Kris
