It may be worth doing something similar here (and would > solve hp's concern about dependence on the menu panel). And how do you get to this view then ? I must say that I find things like start-here: pretty useless. Here the entry point was pretty easy to find, and it show in both the menu panel, and normal panels with the foot menu. What could be done is: - remove "Connect to server..." icon from the menu - add a "My Network places" to the applications menu (underneath "Home Folder"). It would launch network: - A launcher in network: would launch the "Connect to server" dialog sans Browse button. And that's it. What do you think ? Havoc ? -- /Bastien Nocera http://hadess.net
