Shell script importing Gnome`s links.

Submitted by Anonymous on Sat, 08/10/2002 - 08:59. General Questions
Hi all,

I wrote a shell script that finds and imports all Gnome`s menu links, converts them, and puts them into the .mwmrc (for the root menu post).

Anyone want like that kind of thing?

Just wondering,
