Thanks for pointing this out The menu page mentions that menu files have to be 7-bit ASCII to support some window managers - is that still an requirement? Some desktop files I looked at appear to be UTF-8 Is the wiki proposing to abolish the menu files, or simply to generate menu files at build time or installation time from .desktop files? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
