[wingide-users] Wing IDE 2.0 beta2 technology preview

I'm running RHat 9.0: 

Linux misanthrope.mollyguard.com 2.4.20-8 #1 Thu Mar 13 17:54:28 EST
2003 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

It didn't seem to pick up any of the defaults I had set for wing 1.0.

It kept trying to take over my entire screen, and I'm running dual
monitor so that is quite annoying. I found the "screen size" where it
is either "Full size" or something I enter. Why can't it just remember
the size of the window after I resize it?

I also haven't seen a single window open up to the correct size where I 
didn't have to resize it to see all the contents, dialogs, etc...

The "Enable Passive Listen" needs to be put back into the menu hierarchy
-- when working with Apache having to search for a dialog to turn this
on/off is a big pain.

Same thing with Exception Handling Mode

It seems an odd choice for the indention manager to be a main-window
class object and take up space. I know I can remove it, and I did.

The window shading of the tabs for Indention/Source Assistant is very
bizarre. It doesn't close/open on double click. It shades on the 2nd
click, whenever that happens, which means if you accidentally click on
it, the window shades.

I can't find out how to get the documentation pane back? Did I miss it
somewhere? It's not in the "Insert Tool" Menu

Any of the Debug I/O, Debug Probe, Messages, etc. Right click menu to
Move Message To -> Window Preferences, has a 0 size menu

IDE 2.0 crashed on it's first run. Here's an strace:
