Well, mdk could coperate with kde on this menu functionality enhancement. And kde could make an API or wrapper so that urpmi or apt-get or what-have-you could be used for installation. As I wrote, a number of things could be available by right-clicking in the menu. One thing I miss, is deletion from the menu, or uninstallation. I think there are too many items in some of the menus, and would like to get rid of some of them. This could also actually be done by a "del" button hit, and additon could also be done by an "insert" maybe at the menu category name. However, this should not become too obscure. Best regards Keld
