Eric, Thanks for the offer. My interest would be purely academic at this point as I am looking to move on to a later version of GNOME.
Not being able to easily edit a menu is an aggravation, but not a show stopper. Since I [sort of] know how the menu system works, I can add and remove things manually by altering the contents of the appropriate directories. I believe that TSS is in the process of testing the current stable version of GNOME, which is 2.8.2.1. releasing 2.8.2.1, even with locked menus, would be a good thing since it will update the GNOME support libraries. -Joseph ======================================================================== On Tue, 2005-02-15 at 23:22, Eric Dunbar wrote: > On Tue, 15 Feb 2005 16:36:28 -0500, Joseph E.
