That selection thingy is an Ubuntu patch for GNOME. All of this stuff is
very badly integrated and broken, and I blame several layers of crap and
history that frustrate us at every turn! There's some good stuff coming
down the pipe that will help towards fixing this, however. :-)
Yeah, in all my searches there didn't seem to be a consistent this is
how you do it, rather lots of little bits for different bits of
software. Certainly the impression I got was that some of the layers
were somewhat forced to work together rather than designed to work together.
If only there was a reliable patch that could be implemented
temporarily. Would udev rules achieve what we want? I don't know enough
about udev to know. As I said, I tried (ok..ok...briefly) but didn't
work. If udev worked then I'd almost be able to generate a script that
could ask the appropriate questions and do the deed....but then I guess
the problem would be if different users of the system wanted different
orders....hmmm how far down the pipe is the good stuff??? :)
