*sigh* I can't see Linux ever really being big on the desktop, pretty
much just for this reason.

I think that the user "retraining" issue is overrated.  M$ has been
changing the locations and appearances of things with every release of
the WinOS and Office applications.  Configure Gnome with the main menu
on the bottom and I think that most WinXP users would be able to cope.
