We can ask the user if we have a simple program that takes care of creating menu entries. Such a program could be used to open the menu entry installation files for example. Also if we have an API we're working with, we can let the administrator control wether or not the user can add anything to the popup menu or control what items the user can change and which she cannot change. > -- > David Faure, [email protected], sponsored by Qt Software @ Nokia to work on KDE, > Konqueror (http://www.konqueror.org), and KOffice (http://www.koffice.org). > _______________________________________________ > xdg mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xdg > _______________________________________________ xdg mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xdg
