The current menu system works really great for window managers but is a complete failure with Gnome or KDE. Unfortunately most of the target users will probably use the later ones ...

IMHO the perfect target would be the cdd package and feel free to move it to http://cvs.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/cdd/common/cdd/?cvsroot=cdd This will be also usefull for debian-dektop. BTW, I have the feeling that debian-desktop is moving from the originally stated goal to make Debian an easy to use desktop to the goal to provide up to date packages. While I have no problem with this new goal I'm very keen on not loosing the former one out of focus. The plan to rewrite the menu system is now more than two years old but nothing was released until now. So we should try to work out something for the moment. > I'm not sure if it work in KDE 3 > (I believe it do), and would also like it to work with the generic > menu framework in Debian instead of only KDE menus. If I'm not completely wrong Gnome and KDE menus comply to freedesktop.org standards and thus it should not be really hard to get it working with both main desktops. > The source is in > Skolelinux CVS, and the binaries for woody in this APT source: > > deb ftp://ftp.skolelinux.no/skolelinux/ woody local > > Any skilled KDE and/or Debian menu developer around? Unfortunately I do not know very much about this topic. :-( Kind regards Andreas.
