Eh, correct me if I'm wrong, but surely the way it works is that install-menu and the various menu-method provided by window/desktop manager packages to convert the set of menu files into the native menu configuration formats of those window/desktop managers? install-menu would now be improved to read .desktop files directly; there is no need to convert them into .menu files first (and really no reason to convert .menu to .desktop either). -- Magnus Holmgren [EMAIL PROTECTED] (No Cc of list mail needed, thanks) "Exim is better at being younger, whereas sendmail is better for Scrabble (50 point bonus for clearing your rack)" -- Dave Evans
