I think that " type (name) " is how KDE do it. In kcontrol you can change it to Name (description). On my test box GNOME doesn't seem show the type infomation. I have no real views on how Debian should do it, since I change most things to suit me. Pete -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
