Virtual folders (read: menus). It allows the application displaying the menus to decide on the structure (eg. gnome-panel, kicker, the Debian menu update scripts), rather than hardcoding the layout on disk. > And: what are `.desktop's? The .desktop format is the proposed replacement for Debian's current menu file format, and in use by GNOME and KDE already. I would have thought the standard was required reading for even starting to discuss the next-gen menu stuff in Debian... http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/desktop-entry-spec.html - Jeff -- What do you get when you cross a web server and a hen?
