The number of consumers (window manager, menu applets, desktop environments) is much smaller than the number of providers (in theory every application). Shouldn't a menu format be designed to be easy to use for the *larger* group of application providers? Having a goal to be easy to use on the window manager side and being less friendly[1] to the larger group seems to be the wrong design... More so if you take into account that application maintainers aren't really interested in menus, but people implementing menu systems are and have to know all the details. Ansgar [1] This might include maintainers having to convert icons at package build time and so on. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-ctte-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
