Is there a way to view what's in a binary/executable? or whatever the widget icon is. i tried kedit, and emacs, but get garbage or odd symbols, with the a statement in between. I ask because I'm trying to figure out what script controls the reboot drop down menu... after you press shutdown there is a choice for halt or reboot, and a pull down menu which used to have choices for the other operating systems on this machine, but now it is blank. I've checked the security settings to see if that is what made it disappear, but it wasn't. I tried the control center/system/login manager but no reboot option. so i think it is in /sbin/halt or /sbin/reboot or one of the other shutdown like executables... But I'm probably wrong. I also could have read the right script, but missed because i'm not sure what I'm looking for. thanks W.W.Webb
