We basically try to install and present a single tool for each job in a
default GNOME installation. This one tool should be integrated as good
as possible into GNOME and follow the GNOME HIG. display.im6 looks
really alien with it's custom X toolkit, missing Font Antialiasing, and
completely different interface behaviour.


Hope that explains it.
