KDE is what I have here. At the risk of revealing a degree of obtuseness that even I did not know I possess, here is what I see when I click MB2 on a program icon and utter the incantation "voila": Open Cut Copy Rename Move to trash Open with Actions Compress Copy to Move to Properties Examining the sub-options for each one of the above, I find no mention of "icon". What am I missing? N.B.: It works the same way with "Eureka" instead of "voila". -- Stan Goodman Qiryat Tiv'on Israel -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
