  Do Linux users really expect a GUI IDE other than
Emacs/XEmacs?  They shouldn't!  ;-)
  Seriously, I think it should be installed.  I'm not sure
exactly where all the IDLE modules should go (/usr/lib/idle/
?), but it would be nice.  If it could include a .desktop
file for Gnome/KDE, that would be nice as well.
  If no noe has one already, I'll take a look at writing one
-- it shouldn't be too painful, and I think I have the info
about how to do that somewhere.
