Hola Luis, I'd rename the "Sound editing" menu to something more generic like "Audio Production" (you can't edit anything with qsynth for example). OTOH I think apps for average users like VLC, XMMS, Rythmbox, Totem, etc... should be clearly separated from the "audio production" apps. Saludossss <div>2007/7/6, Luis de Bethencourt <<a href="mailto:bethencourt@gmail.com">bethencourt@gmail.com</a>>:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> I'm opening it for ideas for 2 weeks, the 20th of July I will package/upload the new version and it will be late for new ideas. So start throwing them now!
