That's why I've been asking (internally) if we could devise a way to ensure that all apps that aren't listed in the Nevada UI spec have the "NoDisplay=True" line added to their .desktop file-- preferably automatically at build or install time, since that line would need to be absent when downloaded and installed from an OpenSolaris repository. That way, if you wanted to add such an app to your Nevada Applications menu, it would just be a checkbox away in the menu editor. (Or you could just run it from the command line anyway.) Most other people I've mentioned it to seem to think it would be great to have 500* different applications on their Nevada menu by default, though, so maybe I'm fighting a losing battle... Cheeri, Calum. * Ok, slight exaggeration... but if we don't draw the line somewhere and the repositories grow as quickly as we'd like, then 500 could be a conservative estimate in a year or two... -- CALUM BENSON, Usability Engineer Sun Microsystems Ireland mailto:calum.benson at sun.com GNOME Desktop Team http://blogs.sun.com/calum +353 1 819 9771 Any opinions are personal and not necessarily those of Sun Microsystems
