Pleeeeeeeeease...is there any Ubuntu Brainstorm, or Gnome mailinglist or any other sort of place where a well-known person like you could put this "so simple yet so needed" idea, so that we can enjoy the wonderfulness of the right click? I'm not joking, why should we miss such a useful feature? Could you do something to fix this? Is there any trunk where this has been fixed? How can I learn how to fix this by myself!?!? Many thanks Because the properties are not available from within the menu itself (again, Gnome devs, can this be added?)

I think that this is a very good post for your target audience, which as I gather, is newcomers to Ubuntu Linux. I, myself was wondering this very thing last week. My method was to add the icon to the Desktop then check the properties for the launcher name. You have always provided a great site with worthwhile tutorials. Thank you for your service to the Ubuntu community. Michael Contary to Jenn, Thank you Christer!

Thankfully I only read the first sentence.. since this one is a no-brainer. I can't believe you actually spent time writing this article, you must have been really bored.

example:

how do you find the command begind the menu entry in Windows?:

the common sense way: right click on the menu entry to open the contextual menu, click on “properties” and read the “destiny” field

simple ah? why on earth KDE or Gnome didnt’ copy this behaviour? because it is patented? because it was “invented” by Microsoft ;-)

Perhaps we should buy a copy of the purple book of “Smalltalk” [0] and learn about object oriented environment, *this* is the way to go

pardon for my tone, just a constructive critic, keep the good work guys ! :-)
