Not So Techie Responses

I'm a bit irked at my T60 right now.  Had it out this evening, cruising online with CrunchBang.  Did a quick update, tweaked a bit.  Then got the wild hair to grab a package via Synaptic.

I wanted to install Dia, as I've got it on most of my laptops.  It's a godsend program for work on my T400.  So, I grabbed it from the repository, let Synaptic (and dpkg) do the dance, and voila!  Dia installed and ready to go.

Except I forgot something.  The OpenBox menus are static.  They don't update automagically.  You have to do that yourself.

Me no like.

OK, I know I've gotten grotesquely lazy in my old age.  I've gotten soft.  But, dammit, every other distro I have here updates the menu when you install a program.  Yes, I know there's the GUI editor that lets you monkey with the menu, and yes, I know this allows you much more control over your menu...  Blah blah blah.

Blah.

Yes, I still like CrunchBang.  As far as the raw user experience, I like it.  But, cuss it, not tonight!

I put the T60 away, dragged out the T61...  But really not being in an Ubuntu mood, I booted into PhatSlacko

And, no, don't start reminding me about the not-updated desktop icon links in the last Phat release.  I'm sulking right now, and don't want to hear it.
