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 ;)

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 :)

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.
