They should not be enshrined as standard. Then that's the window manager's fault. There's not much the menu package can do about it. menu is heads and tails about any other menuing system of its type that I've seen. menu is always one of the first things I go back and install after I install a new Debian system, and it always annoys me that it's not standard. It's one of the few pieces of intrastructure that isn't pulled in by dependencies or being standard. -- David Starner - dstarner98@aasaa.ofe.org Pointless website: http://dvdeug.dhis.org "I don't care if Bill personally has my name and reads my email and laughs at me.
