r2235 just renamed one function and changed a bit the header files. I

I just paid attention to this in VMware and get the same behaviour.
But I can't remember if that was always the case or not.

Just press `c' to go to command line and you can see more clearly what
it says.

not display it when there's a valid menuenetry in the config.
