I have been using Arasan for years as a lightweight chess viewer and for playing training games (and think it is brilliant) but one thing has always struck me as odd: when launched, Arasan immediately starts White's clock! There is no time to set options (like level etc) or make other interface changes. I suggest not starting White's clock until White moves!
Of course, I realize I can set options etc. and then reset the clock, but that seems counter-intuitive to me.

Re: Arasan - minor quibble
BY default the clock counts up, not down, so you are not actually running out of time while it is running. If you have set it to use a time control, then it will count down. If you have made no moves you can reset it using the New Game command on the file menu or by typing Control-N.
