SO, they're idiots. (i know, opinions are cheap.) Elm is infintely better
than xmail, to me. I mean, looking at a menu and hitting a single key
just isn't much different than pressing a button for simplicity.

Having said that, I wish I had time to do an X elm. But I don't.

To help, maybe.

So let them use xedit. Elm is configurable. Let them change their
editor. They're already in X, so what's the difficulty?
