pesca: your comment about obscure text file editing is too funny.
in a graphical environment, where there already exists an editor which DoesTheJob(tm) and provides exactly the information required - in this case kmenuedit - what the _hell_ is a program doing "bypassing" that - and worse, putting the options into a text file and _not_ providing a graphical editor for it?
that's what bugs me about superkaramba themes that run applications: providing a redundant inappropriate brain-dead version of an existing (accepted!) user interface.
however - if text files _is_ the main "control interface" - i got absolutely no problem with it.
unless it's asterisk of course, which has a config file format "programming language" that is an insane retro throw-back that combines the worst of perl and the worst of BASIC with the worst possible config file format: windows ".ini".
i gave serious consideration to adding python to asterisk: at least it's a decent programming language.
