Agreed. > (since we have a system that works, however imperfectly, and dropping > support for these window mangers would be a regression). Never suggested it. Personally, I like menu files.

That hasn't stopped us before. ;-p I agree though, it's a learning process. I haven't looked at the menu code, so I don't know how difficult it'ld be to "throw in" a .desktop file parser/converter. Don't get me wrong, I didn't ever suggest abandoning Debian menu. I only suggested that participating in something that may turn out to be a "standard" amongst desktop environments will only benefit us. -- Chad Walstrom <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.wookimus.net/ assert(expired(knowledge)); /* core dump */
