OK, fine, but if that is the case, then why offer the choices of  
traditional, dynamic and minimalist upon login, if dimp is supposed to  
be run standalone?  Convenience?  And why then do you give an admin  
the ability to set every other horde application as a menu setting?   
This would imply that everything is integrated.

It didn't take myself and some other testers long to stumble across  
this issue while testing the RC's.  I was just trying to give feedback  
on what we are seeing and experiencing.

I had been trying to show a consistent view of the menu apps across  
all applications by using an includes statement so that I wouldn't  
need to configure each application's $conf['menu']['apps'] = array...  
section separately.  This kind of breaks that idea, and makes one have  
to manually configure that for each app.

Thanks,

John
