Alternatives is a huge filesystem mess that many distros would deny to implement (including me personally). It also does not solve the problem of ordering entries nor does it allow per-user preferences (as opposed to per-machine). To go even further, none of the proposed solutions solve the problem of working on multiple remote machines without having to reconfigure each of them manually but I think we can skip that part. -- Patryk Zawadzki PLD Linux Distribution _______________________________________________ xdg mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xdg
