Oh yes, he/she can... but it's not *nice*. Or maybe I'm just dumb:
but how do you tell the system that for WindowMaker, the Exit items
are in submenu `Exit' in the root menu (root->Exit->Exit Session).
*Without* adding a user-specified menu item at that point (which, I
think, wouldn't even be possible for this).
And even if this is possible... how do you do this without reading
tons of docs and putting some (from a newbie's POV) cryptic strings of
characters into some file?
Even if all the customization I want is possible, it's not
*nice*... and much as I love the CLI, and loathe M$ for making people
believe that a gooey (;-) make any (even the most complicated) task
childs play, I still *do* like a good graphical tool for things that
have to do with GUI stuff. (Would anyone want to do graphic design
with a CLI tool *only*? "Move 34,34. Paint 4. Convolve."
Ewwwww...)
Michael> I don't see the problem.
Maybe you do know... ;-)

Na, bist du denn schon Feuerwehrmann? ;-) (Sorry, couldn't resist...)
Bye, J
PS: No, contrary to what some may think, I do *not* want to over-GUI
everything on Linux. I *love* ascii config files (and `.emacs'...).
I do *not* want all the Windows DAUs on Linux...
