Re: --with-prefix problem

[Hassan Aurag <aurag crm umontreal ca>]

 My solution to this weird problem is to link

/usr/local/share/gnome/apps

to

/usr/share/gnome/apps/Local Applications

Your apps will then appear in the menu under the 'Local Applications' 
submenu!

I think this should either be done automatically, or have a tool in 
control-center available to root that would add PATHS to the list of 
acceptable PATHS for gnome apps, help files ........ in a canonical 
way
