BTW I don't think that's true on all GNOME versions. In particular, between Solaris 9/10/OpenSolaris/Ubuntu/...., they each have different GNOME versions (not surprising) but each version has a wildly different mechanism for adding menu entries, and also Solaris 9/10 require more than just laying down files, IIRC you have to kill gnome-panel for it to refresh. What versions of GNOME is gamin used out of the box? -jhf- _______________________________________________ pkg-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-discuss
