You can configure the Engage static buttons. Yes it does read from the
apps from the desktop, but there's also a list of "always there" icons.
They're configured in ~/.e/apps/engage/applinks and the Text and icon
config goes in ~/.e/apps/engage/mappings. The one thing relating the
icon+text config to the actual presence of the button in engage is the
Window Class. Be sure to read that when opening the "remember" dialog box
and typing it as is, it's case sensitive too. For mozilla, it'll be
Mozilla-bin, gimp will be Gimp-2.0 (for version 2.0 of course, 1.2 is just
Gimp I think), gaim is Gaim, evolution is Evolution, etc... just read them
off as you edit your mappings/applinks files.

well obviously if he doesn't know english, maybe you should translate it
to spanish for him, so he can then answer other spanish speakers, because
it might just be that for a spanish-speaking only user it's not as evident
as it is for us.

True, lack of english is a drawback. However, I do think that C is the
same in spanish as it is in english. So he can still do bugfixes or
patches, and submit them without knowing english. True, it'll be hard to
know what they do. But if it's good code, well, I suppose just reading it
through will tell you what it does, no?

Yeah, that's me. I don't know how to speak spanish...

I'm with you there. Maybe an internalization of enlightenment.org would
help too. I'd be willing to do the french translation of it. I'm (almost)
perfectly bilingual. And I suppose with the help of a dictionary I could
put a german version together as well. (well, dictionary & grammar
book...)
