Why would we want to remove the functionality that allows a program list in the tray icon menu when the default behavior for that list is to be empty and to not be shown? Only people that want to use it are using it. No reason to remove functionality, I'd forgotten X-start-menu-icons existed. So the answer to vdu's request is -- use X-start-menu-icons and you'll have shift+click. -JT

Do you propose that this work on all Windows versions, or only on the ones that have this shift+click behavior in the Start menu?

yes, I do ! try this : +click on an item in "all programs" menu. Do you see ? the menu stays open. -- vdu "Jack Tanner" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > vdu wrote: > > > I would like to be able to click several times on an item of the XWin menu > > without it to close, so that I dont need to reopen the menu every time I > > click on an item. > > > > You don't expect the Start Menu in Windows to stay open once you launch > an application off of there, do you? > > -JT > >

Hm. Not sure. Check msdn.microsoft.com for a way to keep the menu open and http://x.cygwin.com/docs/cg/cygwin-x-cg.html for a description how to include that into the XWin codebase and how to send the patch to the mailinglist. bye ago -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.gotti.org ICQ: 126018723
