That would be a cool _feature_. However, I still don't think this info is
valuable enough. I always missed the info, however, which image types are
acceptable: grayed out menus are not very clear...

We don't know about these yet (btw..)

At least it lets me select all the menu items, somehow. There were times
that I had to decrease my default fontsize just to be able to do that. (At
least gtk+ now doesn't move menus offscreen if my ursor happens to be near
the screen edge.. ;)
Xt, however, is really lousy on that.

Cool idea.

No well-written program nukes configuration items the user has changed,
thus I don't cosnider the pluginrc as a configuration file (just as
parasiterc isn't).
