The version I'm running (2.20), lets me open up a terminal and drag the menu item to the terminal thus showing me the desktop file that defines the item. If you 'cat' the file you can see the command used to execute the menu item. Maybe you can try to run the command in a terminal and see what happens. -Jose _______________________________________________ gnome-list mailing list gnome-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-list
