I agree. I would like to see .desktop standard adopted. There have been a few threads I have seen so far, and there seems to be some level of resistance to the idea. I think if "too many applications in menu" or "wanting simple menu" is a different problem entirely. Once you know where to find apps, you still have too many. At the moment it's doubly complex, and that's plain silly! imho of course zen -- Debian Enterprise: A Custom Debian Distribution: http://debian-enterprise.org/ * Homepage: http://homepages.ihug.com.au/~zenaan/ * PGP Key: http://homepages.ihug.com.au/~zenaan/zen.asc * Please respect the confidentiality of this email as sensibly warranted.
