Re: [Lxde-list] Feature request

[YUP <yup...@gm...>]

Personally I prefer simple but convinient configuration menu on the base 
of xml files. It can be even OSX-like.

I don't understand why do you need a Search field? Introducing Search 
field means that you have complicated heavy configuration menu where 
easy to get lost. What about simplicity?

Basically I'm thinking about some combination of the openbox 
configurations with the rest of LXDE settings...
