Maybe. I also thought about it, but I do not want to judge about it (this should be up to the usability guys.). At least, make sure that "Language" does not start a configuration dialog with the title "Language_s_" and "Software Management" one with the title "Software Manager". Even if we do not want to use the same string in both places, we should define both strings in one place to make sure they are nicely in sync. -- Karl Eichwalder R&D / Documentation SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nuernberg) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
