I'm one of the few using both regularly/simutaneously. I never suggested that we *OnlyShowIn* at all... I suggested that items which essentially come WITH/FOR one desktop or the other be marked as such, or placed in submenus since its much more common to NOT used KDE apps while in Gnome (and vice versa) than it is to use them rather than the available 'native' app to your chosen desktop. I would also recommend that is only done where there is *duplicate entries*... in the case of an app like Kile, or Scribus (for which there aren't common exact replacements in GTK yet) those should be shown in the base menu whether you're in KDE or Gnome. And once that basic default layout is in place anyone could still edit the menus as they pleased, as Jeff was saying. -- Andrew Farris <lordmorgul@xxxxxxxxx> <ajfarris@xxxxxxxxx> gpg 0xC99B1DF3 fingerprint CDEC 6FAD BA27 40DF 707E A2E0 F0F6 E622 C99B 1DF3 No one now has, and no one will ever again get, the big picture. - Daniel Geer ---- ---- -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
