Re: gEDA-dev: some suggestions

I have been thinking about the geda-config/gschem-config configuration 
gui. I have read through system-gafrc and system-gschemrc and I don't 
think it will be a good idea to make a configuration tool which updates 
it self. If everything in such a configuration tool is auto generated 
from the system configuration-files, there is no real reason to have 
such a tool - it will not be able to make configuration any easier. What 
I was thinking was to make a tool to configure the stuff that most 
beginner to intermediate users would want to change on a per project 
basis. That would be things like:

titlepage
default paper size
symbol libraries
(spice includes)
color theme
rubberband mode
etc.

I don't know if I'm the only one that thinks it would be nice to 
graphically configure things like that, but I guess not. Especially if 
the userbase of geda utils is going to expand beyond advanced linux 
users. There is still the problem about what configurations should be 
applied to ~/.gEDA and what should be written in local project files.

Maybe a ngspice interface would be more fun...
