Ok, this did the trick, thanks, i will soone upload the new unicorn package. BTW, just two questions still : 1) is the trailing ; needed ? 2) the app is really not all that gnome specific, will it also be showed in a KDE desktop, despite its leading GNOME category ? And is the System submenu right for this, or should it go under testing ? Friendly, Sven Luther
