Is this qt3 that people speak of the FOX implementation that the OGLE
dvd player GUI uses? If so, that certainly looks good and installs
without any problems on systems I have used (FC2, FC3, Debian).
Sorry if this is a stupid question but I'm not that deep in to GUI stuff
and only have email access at the moment so I couldn't check it out on
the web.
Justin.
