Googling your quoted search term brings up zero hits. Are you sure that it is exact? Have you tried hovering over the button and right-clicking on it, to see what options it brings up? One of the options might be either 'Properties', or a path statement, telling you where it originates, either in your computer filing system, or on some remote website. If you know which application ore website it originates from, that will probably be helpful in determining what it is for. Also, so you know, this strategy usually works as well in Windows operating systems as it does in *nix operating systems. Also, it is probably a good idea to include the name of the Linux distribution you are running, when posting a question. - -- - -wittig http://www.robertwittig.com/ http://robertwittig.net/ http://robertwittig.org/ . -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFJY2an4790tgvai6gRApEoAJ4imx2a8gvpJJ11FcMNAzpRPzp/NACfQj33 GdzxBkO5UeabMV9stJXxV5A= =DEHP -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------ To unsubscribe from this list, please email [email protected] & you will be removed.Yahoo!
