I thought the "Use journal" thing was pretty intuitive, since everything on that bottom bar is clickable, it's not just a status bar.

I think what got me was that the Submit button has a button outline - so I presumed that any 'clickable' items in that area would as well. I saw submit as 'button' and the text as 'not button'. I didn't even know what the thing in the lower left was (I disable the friends checking). :-)

I didn't realize it was clickable until I read this entry. A lot of stuff got rearranged in 4.1 and I haven't figured it all out yet, I guess. (*wants security indicator out of the menu and visible*)

I think one thing can be learned from all of the incarnations of the logjam UI - if you don't have the selection of visible metadata configurable, either make everything accessible from the main window or make everything accessible from a seperate metadata window or through menus; anything else and it will end up majorly confusing people.
You can't please everyone; some people need the security menu visible at all times whereas the Use Journal is rarely used, some people are the exact opposite, etc. etc. Even if people were able to configure the interface exactly how they wanted it, there's a sure bet they'd end up changing it constantly.
I know that given the option of configuring the interface to put commonly used options on the main screen, I'd probably either put everything on the main window or change the preferences on a daily basis, since my most common options change constantly.

I'd really, really, really like to be able to add format tags (as in for enbolden and italic mostly) by simply pressing Ctrl+B, Ctrl+I etc., you know, a bit like Gaim and a few other apps do.

The selection goes into all places because sometimes you're bringing in a link and then doing Make Link, but sometimes you're selecting text from the entry window and trying to turn that into a link. Since LogJam doesn't know which way you're linking (text to URL or URL to text), the least it can do is get one place right.

But now that you've raised the issue, I see that this isn't the least LogJam can do, and that indeed it *can* tell. I'll write a patch for this soon. Thanks for the tip.

(If figuring out whether a selection "comes from" the event GtkTextWidget turns out to be too cumbersome, there's always the option of testing whether the selection looks like a URL.)

Sorry for long post, but error occurs when i'm trying to compile that great program:
