I haven't used it recently since I had only seen Vi on the GNOME menu, recently installed FC3-T2, and just have not had the spare cycles to tweak the installation. I was flabbergasted just now to discover that Emacs *was* installed, but not on the menu. If the default user does not use Emacs, don't install it! Simple. But any application that is installed should be on the menu somewhere. This decision of "the user does not need to know that it is there" smacks of Windows deciding what's best for you without your knowledge or consent, and furthermore bloats the disk space requirements for the many for something only used by the few. I do *NOT* want to have to search my disk and scour the .desktop files to find out what happened behind my back or without my knowledge. "NoDisplay=true" should *NEVER* be the default for an application. Cheers, -- Rodolfo J. Paiz <rpaiz@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
