A problem is that the Show/Hide menu currently contains 8 options all of which _really_ Show/Hide something where "Hide" has to be taken in the sense most other applications use that word, even though it is strictly speaking not 100% accurate. All of them are the following form: Tool-bar which does not make any sense without the Show/Hide in front of it. Thus if you rename Show/Hide to Appearance all eight would have to be renamed to: Show/Hide Tool-bar or something similar if you object against "Hide". (I personally believe that people understand what is meant with "Hide".) blink-cursor-mode would be the only other one among the nine. I still do not understand why blink-cursor-mode is less important than any of the twelve options that are currently at top level, some of which seem to _really_ be technical details for advanced users, who probably do not use the menu bar anyway. For instance, "Use Directory Name in Buffer Names", which, like many of the other twelve, is downright confusing, because it seems to automatically apply to all file visiting buffers. If showing directory names in duplicate buffer names (instead of a number) is something that is not just desirable for a minority of users, make it the default.
