I disagree entirely. I use gnome and I find the `builtin' gnome application menus pretty much useless -- they point to a few token applications that I don't use, and don't have any of the interesting applications. The debian menus (I mean those under the top-level label `Debian' in the Gnome foot menu), OTOH, are _much_ better: they actually have the applications I installed! They are are also quite well organized, I don't find them cluttered at all. I think dropping the current `auto add' behavior of menus would be a _serious_ mistake. -Miles -- Yo mama's so fat when she gets on an elevator it HAS to go down.
