No need to assume I'm angry just because I'm talking loudly.  Some of
us are just born loud.  :)

The "try-run" field of launchers does *not* affect their visibility.

When Ryan said something about the "panel item", I looked at that big
button labeled "Netscape" which appears on the default panel.  If
we're talking about the menus, then, yes, fine, I agree with Ryan.  If
we're talking about launchers, then no, I don't think we need to have
two by default (since one won't work unless you install a package that
isn't on your CD).

Anyway, I never use the Gnome menus -- I have them turned off and the
Debian menus turned on.  So I kinda forgot about them, which probably
helped contribute to the confusion level of this discussion.  

Really, there seem to be two very closely related problems here: the
behavior of the default launcher(s), and the behavior of the default
menu item(s).  Ryan's solution seems fine for the menu problems, but
not for the launcher problems.  But both problems really should be
fixed.

There, maybe now we'll all be on the same page!  :)

cheers
