[Bug 504405] Re: Ctrl-Tab should jump to the next tab

[Jud Craft]

David, you are very kind and ego-boosting.  However, as a non-developer
with no physical stake or contribution in the GNOME community, it is not
my place to bring up a discussion on changing HIG.

In addition, a discussion on this very issue has already hit gnome-
desktop-devel-list (google for "On ctrl+tab"), and although I did try to
contribute to it, I may have in fact helped derail it into a side-issue.
Debates on the policy for a major open source framework are not the
place for casual fly-by hobbyists.  They really aren't.  They need to be
made by the actual developers and designers.

I remain convinced that as Ubuntu continues to improve, GNOME will
improve as well, and I look forward to using both in the future.  If you
pursue any of this yourself, you are more than welcome to use any of my
points as your own, since they aren't mine - I consider them to be
common sense and evident.

I secretly fear that it will take a great effort that casual discussion
will not bring - the offending problem is within GTK, and GTK to my eyes
is a developer's world, not even a designer's world.
