This might be due to a missing casting. Will get back to this once I
finished with your diffs.

That is really a good thing to do.

Please go ahead and eleborate on this. At this stage, I don't want to have
any restrictions (even we may change the coding policies if necessary), so
that we will develope not something just good, but the best.

Also, we should do major changes of general "look and feel" at this stage,
and once the GFE begins to be used in a larger scale, we won't be able to
do that.
