There is an upstream patch to ship the variable to gconf. It's not the perfect fix -- that would be deteching the screen height and working out how many entries we could paint -- but it's a million miles better than the current state of things.
I've seen this bug reported before (well over a year ago), dozens of forum threads about it all over the internet and there's still no sign of anybody taking it seriously. I don't want to sound snotty but wouldn't it be even slightly possible to get the patch worked in at our side rather than waiting another eternity for Gnome to step up? -- Make MAX_ITEMS_OR_SUBMENU a gconf key https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/262520 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
