Re: gnome-menus-2.10.1: Revisited...

["Joseph E. Sacco, Ph.D." <joseph_sacco comcast net>]

I have been reading version-0.9 of the menu spec. The latest version of
the spec is 1.0-draft-1 so I need to go figure out what changed. Of
course that is assuming that gnome-menus-2.10.1 follows the latest
version of the spec.

My "fall back" position is to reinstall gnome-menus-2.10.0, built from
the previous tarball and patched to support the gnome-menu-editor-0.1.
I have tested this out and it works just fine.

Fun and games...
