Here's a thought, an improved menu creation script that detects the distribution being used and creates a distribution specific sub-menu like there currently is for Gnome and KDE, having that sub-menu contain _only_ that distributions specific utilities. If you wanted to get real elaborate, you could augment the script that does the initial menu generation to detect the distribution, and change the default them to reflect the distribution. > Martin. > > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Martin > White > Sent: 08 March 2005 12:31 > To: [email protected] > Subject: RE: [e-users] EEM (Enlightenment on Zaurus); E17 LiveCD - good idea > or bad? > > > I'm not for a second implying that ANY of the stuff suggested should be done > by anyone involved in E development.
