For stable, in the icewm package, does the /etc/X11/icewm/programs file come out-of-the-box filled with KDE apps loaded in, or is the programs file built during installation from programs it finds available? I was using KDE and then loaded icewm. I found that the icewm menu offers access to all the K-apps.
Later on, I loaded OpenOffice. Much to my surprise I found the icewm menus were modified for all the OpenOffice apps. It's mind-boggling to me that the OpenOffice folks would recognized the lesser-known icewm and correctly manage the menu configuration. But wait, could this be the Debian package maintainer adding this bit of magic (http://openoffice.debian.net/)? In contrast to the experiences described above is what happened when I loaded Mozilla-Firebird from the upstream source. No Mozilla entries were added to the icewm menu. I manually changed the icewm configuration in my user account disk space to launch Mozilla from the menu. So a pattern emerges (albiet sparse) suggesting that the app Debian Package maintainer is responsible for hooking all the Debian supported window managers and desktops for their supported package. Conversely, wm/desktop maintainers are responsible for dynamically building a menu that hooks all the currently installed apps on the machine. Is this how things work in Debian? No small task if it is. -- Mike Mueller Registration No. 324881 (08/20/2003) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
