Re: [Lxp-users] Using LXP and liking it...

[Manuel C. <man...@us...>]

Hello Myles

Finally I've released lxp with:
1.- A new program in perl to generate system menus. This will replace
icewm-menu-gnome2.
2.- A script to allow the user to select her favorite desktop (idesk,
xfdesktop, kdesktop or nautilus).
3.- Support for .deb distributions
3.- Other minor fixes

I'd like you try this release and comment it.
Thank you very much for your suggestions
