A little bit hard on "the community". I installed linuxmint to try things out on cinnamon. Cinnamon crashes with my system and goes into fallback mode. Or I can start cinnamon in a software rendering mode (very slow). Mint also has the "Mate" DE available so I installed that as well. The mate menu is sick... err or something. It doesn't seem to be following any of the XDG menu files I have tried playing with at all. The slow cinnamon seems to have the same menu as gnomeshell with the extension. Maybe there is a better menu extension out there that does better. Fallback mode works very well with a fixed config menu. I am thinking these are based on gnome shell 3 but not the latest one which of coarse has no fallback mode... as I found with ubuntu gnome. -- Len Ovens www.OvenWerks.net -- Ubuntu-Studio-devel mailing list Ubuntu-Studio-devel@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-devel
