                ``Wouldn't it be nice if.....''

I feel comfortable w/ ResEditing (Changing trash-can location in the Finder,
FKEY installation, building my own KCHRs (eg: one handed Dvorak, or setting
up control-space to send null for emacs) ...), but never figured out how to:

  1: stop easy access from `exiting' if i accidentally type command-c as one
	(ie: i normally use easy access, but command-[xcv] are so easy to do
	one handed that I often type them and then lose easy access.  I'd 
	happily patch the binary INIT's w/ Easy Access, if I knew a patch).

  2: replace all window title bars w/ a thinner bar.
  
  3: replace all scroll bars w/ a narrower bar (guess who uses a 9" screen!).
  
  4: have my disk icons start on the left side & go down (my trash is already
  	on the right).
 
 Any clues / help would be appreciated.  If sent by mail, i'll summarize and
 post to the net.  Thanks,
