Looking at context, I think you're right - thanks for the catch. My answer is almost the same, though - I never use that at all, and I agree with you and John that it seems completely useless. It's always felt to me like something that was put in because no-one could think of anything much better to go there. =) In An Ideal World it could maybe replace menu bars in apps entirely, a bit like the 'Office' button in recent MS Office releases, but I don't see that happening any time this millennium. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Fedora Talk: adamwill AT fedoraproject DOT org http://www.happyassassin.net _______________________________________________ gnome-shell-list mailing list gnome-shell-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-shell-list
