I too was initially thrown off when I first saw the "shallow menus" in GNOME when I used Ubuntu. After I got used to it though, I loved it! I personally am in favour of keeping the Apps, Places, System menus as I think they are great for easy navigation. It's so much better than having one large menu and having to dig through it for commonly used things. -- Shawn Walker, Software and Systems Analyst http://binarycrusader.blogspot.com/ "To err is human -- and to blame it on a computer is even more so." - Robert Orben
