It isn't entirely clear what you mean but if I understand you correctly you could achieve something similar by running Matchbox on your desktop instead of Metacity (which have done before to try it out and I kind of liked it). Matchbox takes the main menu and displays it on the desk. http://projects.o-hand.com/matchbox/ http://projects.o-hand.com/matchbox/screenshots.html http://projects.o-hand.com/matchbox/screenshots/ss-pango.png http://projects.o-hand.com/matchbox/screenshots/mediabox/base.png Hope that helps Sincerely Alan Horkan Inkscape http://inkscape.org Abiword http://www.abisource.com Open Clip Art http://OpenClipArt.org Alan's Diary http://advogato.org/person/AlanHorkan/ _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
