I've been an xmms user since I started using Linux back in 2003, so I wanted something xmms-like. I like audacious except for one tiny detail; the GUI window is tiny and I can't seem to make it bigger. Whenever I click the area that made xmms bigger, it just tells me that DOUBLESIZE IS NOT SUPPORTED. Will it be in the future? -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
