Capturing some of the discussion in bug 542: http://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=542
During discussions on pkg-discuss at opensolaris, Ludo (ludovic.champenois at sun.com) asked how IPS (new Image Packaging System) would cause gnome-panel to refresh its menus when a package containing new menu items was delivered. IPS will contain mechanisms to allow automatic refresh of specified SMF services when certain files are installed/ removed/upgraded (see bug 578 http://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=542 for details). Is there anyway for gnome-panel to re-read the menu configs w/o a hard restart? - Bart -- Bart Smaalders Solaris Kernel Performance barts at cyber.eng.sun.com http://blogs.sun.com/barts "You will contribute more with mercurial than with thunderbird."
