Why? `browse-kill-ring' seems quite clear, whereas `kill-ring-menu' sounds vaguely like it's going to pop down from the menu-bar. Also, something seems screwy with your patch -- it's basically just one big delete followed by one big add, even though much has changed. This makes it very hard to read. -Miles -- Suburbia: where they tear out the trees and then name streets after them.
