Most users of a computer have no idea what a "window manager" is, let alone that they have "modules"; yet they may well desire to use some of these. To repeat part of my message you didn't address: Another flawed assumption is that the current user is the one who understands what window manager they are using (or even understands what a "window manager" is anyway). For users of computers where some other user installs software that causes menu items to appear under this section, they cannot be expected to know the meaning of a menu section named "Modules". I believe the menu sections should be named so that a user who *never* installs software, nor understands what a window manager is, can still navigate and understand the menu items provided by that software. -- \ "I have a large seashell collection, which I keep scattered on | `\ the beaches all over the world.
