It does. /etc/init.d/wdm checks for 'auto-update-wmlist' in /etc/X11/wdm/wdm.options. If found, it runs the script to update the menu entry (found in /etc/X11/wdm/wdm-config). It does the same thing in /etc/X11/wdm/Xreset, so when an X session ends, the menu is updated with any changes before wdm comes up again. noah -- _______________________________________________________ | Web: http://web.morgul.net/~frodo/ | PGP Public Key: http://web.morgul.net/~frodo/mail.html
