Thanks again for your interest, I hope you will try out GNUstep stuff 
and don't be scared by some stuff missing here and there! it is 
improving, slowly, but it is! I started around your age too... in 
GNUstep and I have been infected ever since.

Nice to see I'm not the only "ppc luddite".

I don't use my iBook so often anymore, especially since until a sreious 
bug with the ATI driver gets fixed any GNUstep application crashes as 
well as webbrowser, etc. Thus I compile stuff on it but eport display to 
test that it our apps work on PPC... for the day things get back again.
If you can watch your laptop battery on GNUstep is my merit, 
especially... that I added PMU support for macs :)

So many applications to work on and fix, Loginpanel is for me less 
important, I usually log in from console anyway. But It tiches me, 
because it would make things much more complete.

Sadly yes, there are copyright problems, or we would already have done a 
"perfect NeXT clone theme".
Use it privately, but we can't share it officially, even if it is 
essentially based bandonware.
