If the app didn't properly make its own entry I just added one via command line. I'm pretty sure others will agree that gnome menu editing sucked; but one of the reasons why it has sucked is that its not a high priority. If an app didn't install a proper desktop file in the proper place, then its the app thats broken. Why should *I* think about menu items? :) Now that gnome and kde will be using FD.o standard desktop files, the problem will only get better, and I suspect any future linux app worth having will consider it natural install a desktop file. Wrt to the actual question as asked, gnome has a new library for handling the new FD.o standard, and there are at least two hackers working on a usable menu editor: http://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2005- February/msg00425.html Cheers, Ryan _______________________________________________ gnome-list mailing list gnome-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-list
