hummm i have no idea where afterstep looks for them. the menu items just
worked, and i didnt move/delete any of those programs. 

oh just solved it ;-) thanks a lot. this is what i had to do:

change 'netscape&' into 'netscape' and 'ghostview&' into 'ghostview' 

change '~/bla/blah' into '/home/lenny/bla/blah' for that one

now it works. i wonder what changed in afterstep; those old menu items
used to work perfectly .. is this documented anywhere?
