Re: [Ayatana] Indicator menu

Wow, you're having a tough bug there. No solutions or hints, but I'm quite positive trashcan can't be hardcoded to use PCManFM, that wouldn't make any sense; I don't even have it installed, trash runs on nautilus just fine from the launcher... *Peterson* *http://petercast.net* On 13 October
