Yes, and what if user wants to create a launcher for some command for which there does not exist a menu item? I used to create launcher for guest session, that is command /usr/share/gdm/guest-session/guest-session-launch provided that gdm-guest-session is installed, but according to my tests on Lucid, it does not work anymore, or at least I was unable to return from guest session to the session from which guest session was launched from. IMO Xubuntu's ability to save session reduces need for panels launchers. Personally I use one panel only to get more space for applications. Grouping would be nice default for Task list. -- http://www.iki.fi/8/ -- xubuntu-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/xubuntu-devel
