I've mostly abandoned traditional desktop environments these days (in particular, since GNOME 2 hit experimental and there were hints that GNOME 1 would vanish forever). Right now my desktop machine at home is using openbox, which seems to work pretty well, isn't ugly, and provides a way to have "applets" on the "desktop" (by supporting WindowMaker dock-apps).
I figured it would be a good idea to try to use the Debian menu infrastructure to add my own items to the root menu. This works well for individual items (e.g. Galeon, XTerm, xscreensaver-command -lock, etc.). But I also want a submenu with a list of machines I can connect to remotely. I have menu items that look like this: ?package(local.world.watertown):\ local=1\ needs=tty\ section="The World"\ title="watertown"\ command="ssh watertown.mit.edu" update-menus runs without complaint, but I never get a "The World" menu anywhere. Is this because update-menus is only accepting items that fit in the blessed Debian menu structure, or am I doing something wrong? I'd also like my personal menus to show up in the menu structure above the Debian system menus; can I do this (maybe with a special sort function in .menu-methods/openbox)? -- David Maze [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://people.debian.org/~dmaze/ "Theoretical politics is interesting.
