questions on slab.

hi.
i’ve got a couple of questions on the slab menu.

  1. why is the ‘Applications’ tab always kind of ‘active/selected’? even
    if the ‘Places’ or ‘Documents’ tabs are active, ‘Applications’ tab
    appears selected anyway. (i’ve noticed the same thing with slab on
    ubuntu). is it possible to change this?

  2. i’ve installed Web Downloader for X (d4x). its icon is not shown
    neither in recent applications, nor in the application browser, however
    it appears in tray when d4x is launched. how can i make the d4x icon to
    be shown in the applications browser? can i add it manually anywhere
    where it is supposed to be?

  3. how can i rename the start menu from “Computer” to anything else?

  4. when i start opensuse, the ‘Network’ icon is periodically replaced
    with another one with an interrogation mark, however i can’t see any
    problem with network connections. and periodically the icon is like on
    the screenshot.
    is it possible to force it to show the same icon all the time?

i know these are not the worst things that can happen. but all these
seem to be little but unpleasant bugs for such a good system :slight_smile:

  1. how can i completely remove the ‘Documents’ tab from the menu, since
    i don’t need it at all. (i have already disabled showing ‘recent
    documents’ in it).

  1. is it possible to configure the application browser so that it
    wouldn’t close after an application is launched?
    i haven’t found any option in this regard in GConf editor :frowning: can anyone
    help?
    (i’ve searched through the forum, but haven’t found any information in
    previous posts as well)
