Actually, I do remember (see below, it was under subject "Re: Client menu 
suggestions was Re: [Gnumed-devel] Release 0.5.rc2") that you had agreed. So 
you must have either said "Done" prematurely, or you must have changed your 
mind and reversed the action except I do not remember the reversal being 
discussed. I struggle to understand what it adds.
