aaah - that can't be done - unfortunately. the main menu is coded in. :) i havent decided what to do here yet, so right now the menu is coded in to make sure regardless of how broken a config you have - you always have a main menu to "rescue" yourself. it requires source patches. e_int_menus.c. it hasn't been modularised :/ the main menu should become more like the conifg panel - modular with the ability to register elements - in fact modules should register most of the functionality, so remove modules to remove menu contents. the big problem here is the config ,menu - that contains the modules config dialog - removing the module that brings that up can leave you with a wm that you can't use - as you can no longer configure modules and load it back :( that is the real danger here for NORMAL users of e. > ps: I demo'd a E17 box to my boss (fedora 7 + E17) for our "public Kiosk > program" (instead of windows) and he was impressed with the speed Firefox > started and how good everything looked. now I just have > to create a supportable device and proccess. :) :) > > > -Nex6 > > > > > > > > > > -Nex6 > > > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > > This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc. > > > Still grepping through log files to find problems?
