But I don't want to introduce too many dividers in that menu to make it 
larger than needs to be. Would it be OK, if I simply moved the Open 
Gateway to the top and the view logfile below the first separator? That 
would be no problem for me.

Hint: I never ever use that menu entry, double-clicking the sys tray 
icon is *much* faster IMHO.

But stopping the node will not kill any files, it will simply, errr, 
stop the node. And you get a graphical feedback that the node is 
stopped. Are were you talking about the "complete unistall" of Freenet?
The only negative impact of stopping a node which could justify such a 
message is that currently transferred files would be lost. I'll think 
whether it's possible to have a "Do you really want to stop the node?" 
together with a "never show me this dialog box again" checkbox.

I will gladly iprove things whereever I can, keep on suggesting and 
bugging me about these issues. I probably just don't experience these 
small things the same way as you do as I am not IDI'ed (besides not 
being able to type orthographically correctly :-)).
Doesn't double clicking the tray icon work for you?
