sincle document or image..

Additional info:

Have see this in olcer versions of another linux distro. Red Hat should be
capable of providing a similar user-friendly desktop (KDE *and* Gnome),

Sounds reasonable.

Comment 2 Havoc Pennington 2002-12-14 02:59:16 UTC
It seems that we have this now, in current rawhide.
"desktop-printing" package I think.
