Surely the correct approach is to say that people who don't want to see it won't have it installed and people who have it installed want to be able to use it from the menu. Programs which you have to have installed and yet don't want to see in the menu probably shouldn't have (visible by default) menu entries and should be dealt with by fixing that program, not by removing all the other entries. Having said that, I do agree with moving to .desktop by default, but that does not address the issue of what should be in the menus, just how. Matt -- Matthew Johnson
