All,

  I just thought I would pick up peoples comments on the
couple of re-accuring questions and comments I get about
AbiWord on QNX:

1) Can we chrink the toolbar icons?
 - It seems that most people like the toolbar, but find that the icons
   are just too large. This may partially be a result of the way that
   I render them, but I also noticed in the menu code for unix that
   there is a "Text", "Icon", "Text and Icon" type of logic. Is that
   actually controlled by an option which the user can configure in
   AbiWord itself? I've not seen this option which is why I'm asking.

2) Can the window come back to the same position/size as before.
 - I know that there is code in there for unix to handle the -geom
   flags, and that additionally some window managers will automatically
   save the position. Is it possible for us to save this type of
   information in the user preferences for the next time we load?

3) Everything else ... =;-)

Those are the two big issues that I seem to get asked over and over
again. I don't really want to code up a QNX specific option for
either of them, but would rather put the gear in the XP framework
to handle it transparently.

Thoughts ... comments?

Thomas
