Can you please clarify? How is it any different if a system has one user or one hundred? If a sysadmin requires everyone to use Kate as their editor (for some hypothetical reason), then the menu item should show up no matter what DE any one of the users chooses to run. I'm not sure what a "user controlled system" means. Also, I don't understand your argument for item C. If someone wants to install every single application then I would guess that this same user would also want to have these applications show up in their menu. Why would someone who installs every single application only want a subset of those applications in their menus? Is it really correct to assume that someone who installs all applications is not intelligent and we need to think for them? This is Microsoft philosophy. Do not try to force a user into using her machine the way *you* think she should. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
