I'm rather non-plussed by the proposal to devalue the Debian Menu system. I use fvwm, and while for frequently-used apps I don't use the menu (instead launching them from particular keys), the Debian menu is how I both launch apps I use less frequently, and explore what I've got installed. Its comprehensive coverage means that if I'm not quite sure what application I want, I can have a bit of a browse and try things out. Any proposal that reduces the coverage of the Debian Menu seems a bad idea for me... Regards, Matthew -- "At least you know where you are with Microsoft." "True.
