I have menu-1.5-17 and wmaker-0.20.3-5.
Oh?
less /usr/lib/menu/netscape
?package(netscape4):needs=x11 section=Apps/Net title="Netscape
Navigator" command="/usr/bin/X11/netscape"
?package(netscape4):needs=x11 section=Apps/Net title="Netscape Mail"
command="/usr/bin/X11/netscape mailbox:"
?package(netscape4):needs=x11 section=Apps/Net title="Netscape News"
command="/usr/bin/X11/netscape news:";
I must be either too far behind or ahead. It seems you must be
running the unstable version, that works and I am running the stable
version, that doesn't.

Yes, those are what I have. Well kind of, my menu is GNUstep not
GNUStep.

Nope, that isn't what I get. the only entry in the log is
Reading menuentryfile /home/wtopa/.menu/gtcd and if I have no .menu
dir, Reading menuentryfile /etc/menu/gtcd.
But there are no ADDING lines containg it.
I thought that Slink had released 'working' programs. I just checked
and I have the latest Slink versions of menu amd wmaker. I will
upgrade those packages, as long as thay don't try to upgrade to Glib,
and give that a try. I should have mentioned in the beginning that I
was running Slink.
