You will certainly find it since it is pretty clear. Almost all GUI
applications ignore it however and the GIMP isn't any better.  If we
would take this really really seriously, we'd have to add a GPL

I already said that the changes are minor. Basically some UI
polishing, nothing that would be worth calling a change.

Go to the menu and toggle "View Menubar". How did you miss this?

As I said, the user installation dialog was added for a number of
reasons. I don't see why I should let it disappear for no good reason.

Sorry, but removing features looks more like a regression to me.
