Just a throw away thought - but I have always felt that one of the dangerous
aspects of GUIs - Windows at least - is the fact that a user can simply click
on an icon/filename without any clue as to whether it represents an executable
or a file of a particular type to be 'operated upon' by ana potentially
unkown executable.
