(Must say that I've read your answers to other questions and they're allways good :-) dm looks interesting! But... It says that games should be put in /usr/games/hide directory of ``real'' binaries and KDE-games are located in /usr/local/bin. Does this mean I have to relocate all KDE-games to /usr/games/hide? Or can one put sym- bolic links in /usr/games/hide to the KDE-games? Best regards, Paul
