Now I supose one could asume since I'm using Linux, I would know everything and give myself rw permisions to those folders, but thats an unfair asumption."
man chmod
OR
man chgrp

I tried chmoding the folders already, but to no avail. Telling me to read the meaty man files realy isn't any help. Mind explaining the commands in some way a linux newbie would be able to use? At any rate, I don't see why it wouldn't be halfway reasonable for the client to work without the user to fiddle with alot of stuff...

Yes, a "subscreen". Believe it or not there are other servers than 2k2 (aka, *cringe* "kingdoms") and era. In these mythical servers, if you didn't mess around with your key config settings, or it didn't have it disabled in some way, pressing Q would usualy open a "subscreen", where you would typicaly change weapons, etc. In v3, windows AND linux, if there are too many items to fit a row, rather expanding onto the next row like it did in the yee olde days, it will instead just merge the excass into one big hairy mess. Call me a nastalgic old fool, but I like being able to use all of my weapons.

a server selector that doesn't crash"
It doesn't...?

Yes it does in the linux version. See, it'll just sit there for too long to be reasonable, so I'll close it and open it untill it works (when it does, it only takes a few seconds-minutes rather spaning 10 minutes)... but by that time the game client has screwed up my sound drivers (an error I forgot to mention), so I'll have absolutly NO sound... more than enough incentive for me to reboot, wich is a slap in the face for any *nix user.

Not possible in 3.* engine. Set your resolution larger.

I've heard alot that the higher the resolution you give the game window, the more unstable the game is. Besides, I want to be able to do other things with my system. Theres aim... a clock... the occasional opening the command promt to chmod the folders so the client can load an image... a desktop right click on so I can get into the submenu where I stuck the shutdown/reboot link because graal killed my sound....
lots of things that I like to use the moniter for than just graal. Besides, its not imposible to let the window not be constrained from the game area. I've seen it done before alot, and even with "pretty windows", not just your average pop up or w/e.... and with c++, too!!! Well, I'm sure all those exemplamary programs were made by some sort of COMPITENT PROGRAMER.
Anyways, now that you see my meaning....
FIX IT, MONKEYS!!!!!!
