Thanks for the update.

A couple of quick observations.

I just did a brief test, (start up, look around a bit)

The thing I noticed right off is that startup seems a bit slower.
(than version 5.0.3.4)
(using, opensuse10.3, kde3.5.10, w recent gnome/gtk libs,
core2duo64bit w/8gb mem)

The slowdown isn't terrible but 5.0.4.3 literally popped right up.
now the toolbox window and main menu (toolbar?) and the "edit
palette" pop open but the "Navigator window takes 10 to 15 seconds
to open.

I did notice the font dropdown works much faster now than it used to
before you added the font requester. (although I am still glad fto
have the requester!)

One last thing
There is a button at the top of the font requester (next to
the "Show" filter for all fonts, frequently used, etc button)
the marking on the button is
>>
It took me a minute to figure out when this button is used, It seems
that perhaps the button should be greyed out when inactive to
reduce confusion

Thanks for the update

Ok, next release will disable the button appropriately (not sure why I
didn't do that before, I always do), and I'll put a tool tip ("Edit
Collection").

Almost every item in PageStream could use a tool tip, but I just don't
have that kind of time right now. I'll try and hit the important ones as
reported.

Thanks for the feedback,

Deron
