Hi Dug,

I have not yet upgraded to RH6.0, but if you are using the AnotherLevel
stuff with Fvwm I think I can give you a few pointers. In what follows I
am going to assume that the directory structure is the same as my RH5.2
system. If it's not, let me know and I know someone who probably knows
the answer to these questions.

Right. If you look at the directory

/etc/X11/wmconfig/

you will find a bunch of files like xv or acroread which contain
something like this:

$cat /etc/X11/wmconfig/xv
xv name "xv"
xv description "XV Image Viewer and Conversion Util"
xv exec "xv &"
xv group "Graphics"


$ cat /etc/X11/wmconfig/acroread
acroread name "Acrobat Reader"
acroread description "Adobe Acrobat Reader"
acroread group Applications
acroread exec "acroread &"
acroread mini-icon "mini-pdf.xpm"

Creating a file with this sort of syntax in this directory will
add the menu item (with or without) icon for every user.

I'm not sure what you mean by links... If this helps, great. If not let
say so and I'll try to help.
