A few issues ?

I've been hooked on #! but there are a few annoying issues. Firstly if i use PCManFM to overwrite lots of files, and select the Overwrite All option when it pops up, the process fails. But if i choose "overwrite" and do it one by one, it succeeds. I tried thunar as well and there's no issues in it, but i want to stick to pcmanfm mainly due to tabbed browsing. I checked the necessary permissions and they were alright. This error stays even if i open as root.
#2, if i plug-in my headphones, play some music , and then use the keyboard multimedia keys to mute/unmute, there's a problem when unmuting. After i unmute, i find that there's sound from both the headphones and the laptop speaker. If i plug-out and plug-in my headphones, it is solved. But if i mute/unmute again, it repeats. Am i doing anything wrong or missiing some settings??
  Also, is there a way to move items in between sub-menus in obmenu, like say move an item from "preferences" menu to "system" menu. And if i have a menu entry  "Banshee (Media Player)", is it possible to style it as "Banshee (Media Player) ", preferably using the GUI tool. This is a critical issue as almost my friends want to try crunchbang, and having a description of of what the application does will help them a lot initially.

Thanks.

Have you tried to reproduce this issue using a LiveCD or on a different machine? It could just be a bug in PCManFM.

Also, is there a way to move items in between sub-menus in obmenu, like say move an item from "preferences" menu to "system" menu.

You can manually edit the rc.xml file to move items like that, but its not possible with the GUI Menu Editor.

And if i have a menu entry  "Banshee (Media Player)", is it possible to style it as "Banshee (Media Player) ", preferably using the GUI tool.

Not possible.

I've had similar problems with PCManFM, both on #! and on antiX. Simplest solution for me, was just to exit PCManFM, then either run "killall pcmanfm" in a terminal (or just run htop to make sure it's not still running) then restart PCManFM and all is usually OK again (At least for a while). I think it's a bug in PCManFM.
