Foal looks nice. Couple of things, though:

  o Why does it install its own pixmaps? Oughtn't it to use
    /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/pixmaps/ (not that that directory exists, but
    it should). Maybe icondir should be a search path to locate matching
    xpm's?
  o Why doesn't it use tooltips, preferring instead to pop up
    something like tooltips alongside the box.
