I partly agree.  One of the ideas behind HID is that you can have two
GUIs that *act* differently, not just *look* differently.  That way,
each GUI could respect the rules of its usability guide.  So some
differences are to be expected.  However, it would be nice if
significant functional (i.e. usability) bits were shared, like user
definable menus.

Not really.  Dan fixes bugs in it, but there's nobody to add features
to it.

Drat!  My secret plan is out!  ;-)

Note that the *engine* features automatically apply to all GUIs.  It's
only the GUI-specific features that are, well, GUI-specific.
