I've said many times that alternatives should only be used when the following criteria are met: 1) System administrator choice; not end-user choice. 2) Command line compatible A trash command does not follow #1 (no matter what happens if someone implements a #2). The environment-modules package might be a better choice for doing something alternatives-like for end-user apps. -Toshio
