Okay,

the New-> menu item now works.
Installing a .desktop item in ${prefix}/share/mc/templates will now put
it in the New item menu.  The exec field of it will create the new item,
so choose it correctly.
Next on the TODO; rehash the toolbars.

+	* glayout.c (create_container): finished the New->menu.  Looks
+	better now.
+
+	* gcmd.c (gnome_run_new): new function.
+
 	* glayout.c (create_container): beginnings of the New-> menu.  It
 	doesn't have much yet, hopefully we'll have a good way to let apps
 	register themselves with it.
