A related question that I've been wanting to ask for a while: is it possible to automatically generate desktop files from the menu files? If not, should we be enhancing the menu format so that we can? That feels like it might give us the best of both worlds, although desktop environments are not an area of expertise for me and I may be missing something fairly obvious. -- Russ Allbery ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
