[Bug 1] Re: Microsoft has a majority market share

To be honest, it's not the bugs in Ubuntu that prevent it from gaining
market share, it's the archaic design that requires users to be computer
geeks.

For example, I want to be able to have Pidgin instant messenger launch
at login.  Can I select this in the preferences?  No.  Can I drag the
Pidgin launcher from the menu into the Sessions 'Additional Startup
Items'?  Unfortunately not.  If I choose Add Startup Program, can I
select from a nice list of applications?  I can't even do that.

Whart I have to do is click on Add (in the Sessions/Additional Startup
Items pane) whereupon I'm present with the opportunity to browse (note,
I'm not able to search) the filesystem for the binary file that launches
Pidgin.  And by default, it dumps me in my home directory as a place to
start looking.  This is crap.

Of course, you could run 'locate pidgin' in a terminal... or you could
look at the launcher settings for Pidgin in Preferences->Main Menu...
but how is anyone other than a Linux geeks supposed to know that?
