Please comment on this.  I was assited by 2 Gnome Usability guys for
this.  About the contactlist-right-click menu I have to ask some more
advice fomr 'm.  But we have to make sure what we want.  When a user is
not online and we double-click, and we want it to open a SMS for mobile
users, we should have "send an SMS" as first item and have thus the
action on doubleclick and also the first group of actions in that menu
depend on this.  If you gray out the first item and do it also for
others, it means you don't have any double-click action defined.



Under here the mainwin-proposal,

Karel.




These are not anymore in this menus-proposal:

[OFF] amsn versioncontrol -> in about window
        This was removes because it's not very much used anyway and only
populates
        screen real-estate.  whe a user checks the version he/she has in the
about
        window, he/she should be able to check for the latest release in there
too.

[OFF] minimise instead of close -> in preferences
        This is something only set once.  From usability point of view it's
even
        wrong to minimise a window (to the tray) when the close button is used
as
        this should do the same as the "close" entry in the main menu.  Though,
        this is an often requested feature, so it should be kept, and it's
place 
        is in the preferences window.  

[OFF] Change language -> in preferences
        This is a preference mostly only set once and thus belongs in the
        preferences screen.  
[OFF] Change skin -> appearances in prefs
        Idem dito.
