What happens when a > DE/WM is installed after all other software ? ' The point about .desktop files is that the data is generic. You never really -generate- a menu. You have a file, and make sure that all tools (gnome,kde,*box, windowmaker , xfce, whatnot) understand and read this file, and merge it into their own menu. some more reading might be required, freedesktop.org has the menu spec and the desktop spec. //Spider -- begin .signature This is a .signature virus!
