I had a co-worker (who knows how to script) suggesting that we need a
GUI to pick files to copy from a to b. He wasn't clear that he could
filter the file list any better than ls can so ultimately he wanted to
re-invent konqueror (or whatever file manager your desktop uses).
Because it's hard for him to pick the right rpm version out of a list. Bah.
I hope he was mostly joking.
