But you had to edit the menu by editing a text file. Ubuntu has a lightweight version (Xubuntu) which uses XFCE (http://www.xfce.org/). You could download a xubuntu iso image and run it from the live-cd to experience it's features. XFCE seems to have a more active development (more recent releases) than IceWM. That's also true for the e-builds: http://www.gentoo-portage.com/xfce-base/xfce4/ChangeLog#ptabs HTH, Martin P.S. anyone noticed that this time I didn't forget to send only plain text instead of all the HTML stuff? :-D > -- > Alex Alexander || wired > Gentoo QT && KDE Herd Tester > http://www.linuxized.com
