Thanks! I'll give it a shot and if it works I'll join the chorus of those who hope it gets added to the documentation.
Real men don't read docs :)

In my years as a mainframe programmer and later administrator, I did indeed encounter quite a number of Real Men who complained that IBM provides "too much documentation". That didn't keep them from coming around periodically to pick my brain. :-) Sadly, I now often find myself complaining of the lack of documentation in the Unix world. I DO understand that the team is small and the tasks large, but having the same problem pop up after each upgrade, with the same group of incoherent 'just do this and all will be well (until next time)' is extremely frustrating.
Agreed. Aparently I don't know why /opt/trinity/bin/r14-xdg-update is not run by the postinstall-script. But then I have to admit I don't know this cute little program is doing at all :)
@docs: I like the way FreeBSD handles these things. Linux is still nice, but there is a new generation of programmers that prefer youtube videos to written documentation. Maybe I'm too old for this, but the last days I was faced with the problem of picking a person for a project that's not afraid of the console - didn't know that reading is martial arts nowadays ;)

I did find a bit of additional information about the Menu system in the Administrator Guide handbook, and I will be looking at the XDG documentation to see what I can glean there.
