Thanks. surf and tabbed look useful. It'll take a while to figure
out just how I can best use them.

Now to figure out how to bind keytrokes or menu entries. I currently
use xcfe, completely in dfault configuration. After coming as refugee
from gnome and kde, I hesitate to cuddle up with a new DE and invest
real effort into it.

Is this a kind of refugee syndrome? never feeling I'm home any more?

I guess I'm just ranting about the closing in of open software.
