"The mouse is used to point at the xterm you want to type in." So, sorry, no, I did not. However, Stefan notes his experience with some earlier patches with [xg]config: http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/4/10/326 For you, I installed qt3-devel/libglade2-devel on my machine and ran it in [xg]config. >While your changes make menuconfig better, they have nearly opposite effect on >xconfig. > >xconfig has the menu tree display in the left panel, where one can see the >overall layout of the menu tree and jump directly to any menu (even one >multiple levels deep).

It does work in Single View and Tree View. >It looks like your changes are going in, so I suppose the solution is to >improve the way xconfig handles "menuconfig". >[...] >The reason is that a frontend would easily be able to understand the coupling >between the "menuconfig XXXX" and the "if XXXX".

An object will be put into a menuconfig-menu IFF it has a depends on the menuconfig item. This is different from menu-menus, which have "sort of" an implicit "if/endif" block.
