One possibility is something on the main desktop menu, under System. Not under System|Admin or System|Preferences - a top level menu entry just under Help called "Report a bug" ? The hindrance there is getting something equivalent on other desktops but as the default is still GNOME, it might help a bit. XFCE could have a default icon on it's panel - haven't run KDE in such a long time that I've got no idea where it would appear in KDE. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.data-freedom.org/ http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/ http://e-mail.is-not-s.ms/
