Yeah. 17" seem to be coming into "affordable" range, at least around
here. But 19" ones are still prohibitively expensive.

Hmm... I can't really say I've noticed.

20" Cinema Display (Aluminum). It supports DVI, plus it has a USB 2.0
hub and firewire hub in it. :-)
Not in the market for an iMac G5 at the moment, but my desktop and
laptop would go very nicely with that.

Tell me what the difference is that is bad and I'll tell you if Mac OS
X has it. I've never been able to figure out the GTK button hubbub, so
I can't really say. I have to work with Windows, Linux (almost 100% GTK
or console these days) and Mac OS on a regular basis and I never notice
any "button issues" with any of them (it is one of the few things I
don't find annoying in one OS or another).
