No, not at all. I have not yet seen a convincing argument for hiding menu entries. The only ones were "less is more", which is to vague to get one much further, and "we need to hide stuff like python", which is plain wrong IMHO because I think python shouldn't have a menu entry at all. In particular, nobody has yet answered Marvin's argument about not mixing up the purpose of the menu and the toolbar, ,---- | Gnome and KDE are targeted primarily at desktop users, not servers. If, | as a desktop user, I install a graphical app on my machine, I *expect* | to see that app in the main menu. The place where I put important | and/or frequently used apps is on a panel/toolbar. `---- Mike overlooked the word "graphical", and since then we are discussing python, not menu/.desktop.
