A few bugs in dash (WS 7.2P):
1) there is no way to kill programs started from the menu. (I'm sure
you already know this.) (I tried this with the analog clock.)
2) the clock menu option does not look at .Xresources for xclock. (The
load menu option does, which is a win.)
3) It would be nice if the man page listed the command-line options (at
least for the default setup).
4) The description for emacs uses the term "user-extensible". Webster
says:
> Word: extensible
> No definition for 'extensible'. Maybe you mean:
> 1. estensible 2. extendible 3. extensile
>
>
> Word: estensible
> es.tens.i.ble \ik-'sten(t)-s*-b*l\ aj : capable of being extended
5) It would be really nice to be able to cut and paste text from the
dashboard (or its idiot lights) with the mouse.
6) It would be nice if there were some more obvious way of telling
whether selecting an item runs a program than whether it has an ellipsis
after it.
