Oh, and it also used to be the case that it didn't work for many  
apps, because a lot of them were using bonobo menus rather than gtk  
ones, which didn't support it.  I guess that's less of an issue now,  
but you might want to check the core apps at least in case there's  
any you need to mention as incompatible...

Cheeri,
