No small task if it is.
There's a clever package called menu that mediates all of this. Each window manager provides a "menu-method" that translates from a central format to whatever it needs for its own menu system. Each package providing a menu entry just writes one in this central format. You can add your own entries this way, too, by editing files in $HOME/.menu. Have a look in /usr/share/doc/menu for the documentation. -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
