Re: Bad icons on the GWorkspace dock

[Patrick Cardona]

Hi Bertrand, Fred and Gregory,

Thank You for the details and comments.  I apologize my inappropriate 
words. As You might understand it, I am not an English native,
so I can get sometimes confused and use bad words, and the Experience 
MacOS / OpenStep User is a superset above my poor language.
But I like too learning and using more and more precise words as I can 
do. So Thank You again for your kind teaching.
