Imo, the fact that in *nix a != A is a very logical reason for sorting them
separately. To me, the better question is should they be sorted as A-Za-z or
Aa-Zz.

As for letter and special characters, I'd have to agree that sorting those
is pretty much a logical arbitrary.

OOT: I run xfce on Arch at home (at work I'm consigned to MS), and I
absolutely love it. Heartfelt thanks Brian and all the other devs.
