88 | ======================= |

|
|
90 | This GLEP exists for a long time now, still it is not accepted. I will outline |
|
|
91 | the current status: |
|
|
92 | |
|
|
93 | * KDE 3.2 (x86) supports this specification |
|
|
94 | * GNOME 2.6 (~x86) support this specification |
|
|
95 | * domenu[12_] has to be included in portage to be used by the ebuilds to |
|
|
96 | install a desktop entry |
|
|
97 | * Somebody needs to write patches for the other WM's: |
|
|
98 | |
|
|
99 | We should focus on adding support to the following WM's first: |
|
|
100 | |
|
|
101 | * xfce, blackblox / fluxbox / openbox / waimea / kahakai, icewm |
|
|
102 | * fvwm, windowmaker, enlightment, afterstep |
|
|
103 | |
|
|
104 | The following are not so important, but support some kind of applications |
|
|
105 | menu: |
|
|
106 | |
|
|
107 | * aewm / aewm++ / evilwm / windowlab / oroborus, amiwm, ctwm, flwm |
|
|
108 | * golem, larswm, pekwm, plwm, pwm, qvwm, selectwm, treewm, trwm |
|
|
109 | * vtwm, xpde |
