See http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=8217

Once you customize the controller main menu, it's a real pain to get to
any entries which are not shown and are not in the settings sub-tree. 
You have to change the customization to show the entry, then use it,
then hide it again.  And you have to navigate the sort of flat home
menu list to get to it - twice.

My proposal is that instead of forcing the home menu to contain
settings (which is of course done to avoid getting stuck) there should
be a new menu item - full menu (name subject to improvement) which
leads to the uncustomized menu tree.

One of the entries in that tree is settings, so you still can't get
stuck.

What full menu does, and maybe the easiest implementation, is to
suppress customization for a while - say until you pop out of it or go
to the home menu with the home key.

If you are constantly frustrated as I am - if you have too many entries
on your customized menu because you've put once a week stuff there -
then vote for 8217.
