Has the style of SuSE really changed so much ? Last time I saw SuSE all was very green, maybe some graphics was nice ....

The last time SuSE did it very bad. Maybe I wouldn't put Gimp under multimedia. Some things in the logic of that menu aren't consistent. Maybe it's worth a discussion. Just for explaining my thoughts: Lets take my menu in kde as it is: First Level: Application Configuration Documentation What to do ... Multimedia Networking Office The first 3 are one level. What to do does not conflict with this level. But then comes the other 3. Now lets search after the application "gimp" : Should I search in Application or in Office or in Multimedia (why the heck multimedia ?) ? You see the levels of the contexts conflicts here. I could more examples for that. So it would be better to have applications in applications, after that can come the next level (what type of applications). Or all is reachable trough the structure of Networking / Office / Multimedia / Programming / Archieving in the first level. And slightly seperated Configuration / Documentation / Monitoring. Just my thoughts about it.
