Ah, it would seem that my problem is with DFL not compiling. Look 
guys, I'm about ready to give up here. I like the idea of D, but 
it's like using fucking Linux: Absolutely everything needs to be 
compiled before you can use it; and nothing will compile because 
you need to do fifty other goddamn things that aren't mentioned 
in the readme, so you have to post on dozens of sodding forums 
for a week hoping someone throws you a bone.

All I want is to be able to write a GUI application using phrases 
like "button1.dock = Fill". Is that so much to ask? Apparently it 
is.

DFL won't compile. D-IDE doesn't work at all. VisualD crashes all 
the time. The Eclipse IDE plugin doesn't work either. None of the 
IDEs have any kind of reliable intellisense. The optional 
"module" keywords aren't optional. The whole fucking thing's a 
shambles, just like everything else designed for Linux.

It's really getting on my tits. Even using MFC is easier than 
this.
