Menu Entry Maker 1.1.17 update

Updated to Menu Entry Maker 1.1.17
This update I've reworded "Start with" to "Open with", added mozstart to the Open with Options, this will open URL's with seamonkey if the seamonkey news and mail package is installed.
Changed the way icon's and applications are selected, it now has different directories to choose from, as well as the file select browser for non drag-n-drop file managers.
I made the changes in "Racy" to suit the gtk4, also changed the way it selected icons in /usr/share/icons, as they need the full path.
Updated help file.
Updated to Menu Entry Maker 1.1.16
I've updated MenuMaker, this version needs gtkdialog-0.8.0 to function correctly so if you wish to use this then the latest gtkdialog will need to be installed.
It now has a different look, icons on the buttons with hotkeys, the file select for icons now opens /usr/local/lib/X11 and file select for applications now opens /usr.
removed help from edit and delete box's, added a refresh button to the tree list, reworded some of the menu terms and fixed error in code.
It all works just as good as the old version, it's more about aesthetics and keeping up with gtkdialog.

Updated to Menu Entry Maker 1.1.15
This update includes Opera browser support for Fullscreen or Kiosk Mode.
Detects and displays the default browser at the bottom of the GUI with mouse
over text, which shows the options to use with each of the different browsers.
updated the help and tooltip text.
I'll leave the menumaker-1.1.14 for the time being, until menumaker-1.1.15
has been tested a bit more, should be OK though.
let me know if there are any changes anyone would like.
I'm running out of idea's for it, but that might be a good thing
Updated to Menu Entry Maker 1.1.14
This update is mainly just a tidy up of code, redrafted the help and mouse over tooltip text, this we be the last for awhile.
I'll wait and see how the new gtkdialog develops and see what can be improved or added.
I hope this app is useful to those who have downloaded it, sorry if I update so often, I'm just fussy, if it don't look right i have fix it.
Updated to Menu Entry Maker 1.1.13
This is the latest version, fixed a few errors in the script and resized some of the xdialog GUI's.
Added a new help using xdialog textbox so that the main GUI is operable with help open,
help has simple to follow instructions on how to use the menu entry.
Added a extra Start with entry to the list and replaced the GUI Icon to one that is more appropriate to its function.
Updated to Menu Entry Maker 1.1.12
Well due to popularity I've changed it once again so that now it is more in line with Rox for usability, I think you'll like this one smokey
Updated to Menu Entry Maker 1.1.11
Added extra options:
As well as Dosbox a variety of terminals, default web browser and default text editor can be used to run programs and open files.
If anyone can think of anything else that could be added feel free to make suggestions.
Menu Entry Maker 1.1.10
I though that I'd had better start a new thread as the original one was getting a bit messy.
Well I updated it once more, I found that I had a number of dos game and apps I could use that run fine in Dosbox,
so I've added a function to the menu maker, to allows you to select Dosbox, so it can run in a window or full-screen.
I've tested it repeatedly so it should be fine, works really well, why didn't I think of this before, all those scripts I use to write,
well I hope you like it and it's of some use to those who still use dos apps and game's
