Well unless they rename it, the Recycle Bin will always be called the Recycle Bin.. so have the luser look for _that_ not some icon. Or tell them to uninstall the theme for the time being. Neither of which are all _that_ hard. Besides, if the user is too stupid to know which icon is the recycle bin, I'm sure that the "guru" should tell them not to touch the themes control panel (or just remove it which isn't too hard). - alex To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
