Then re-run "update-menus -v" as root. This is a known combo-bug (new techie term!) caused by Fluxbox and RPM. You might check that you have updated copies of both, but editing the above line will fix it. Believe me, I have done it a couple or triple dozen times in the last few weeks, running Cooker as they got this solved. ;-) Tim -- I often read this forum on my PDA, please use plain text! _ ( ) ASCII ribbon campaign against HTML e-mail x registered Linux user # 329428 / \ GnuPG KeyID 6B5A70DF www.keyserver.net
