What...

...the...

...fuck?!

I have trouble believing what I read. This actually is a feature.
Wonderful.

Quoting that page:
: Folks, look, 

That feels like some downtalking is going to happen.

: US/Dvorak is a tiny number of users

Ahh, it is!

: compared to all users of Russian, Arabic, Greek, etc.

Why compare? These are distinct groups with distinct wishes. Guess
what--you can't abstract everything. Not even in gtk+.

: While the feature may seem weird to you, it's really important for
: those users."

Configurability is a wonderful thing.


I wonder how these users (those with the non-roman alphabets) manage to
use only gtk+ applications, if this functionality is so important to
them.
