The FreeDesktop.Org (FDO) specifications for how to deal with menus of applications is hideously and overly complex crap. Linux desktop systems have to deal with that. It's hard to cache as well, new applications can be added at any time with no reboot needed. The Enlightenment implementation leaves a lot to be desired. On the other hand, there appears to be some bugs with the Enlightenment menu system. This sort of freeze / stall shouldn't happen outside of the "Applications" menu, coz only that menu relies on FDO crap. In particular I often see problems with the "Settings" menu, sometimes it never shows, I have to put the menu away and try again. -- A big old stinking pile of genius that no one wants coz there are too many silver coated monkeys in the world. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dive into the World of Parallel Programming.
