Sir, I cannot tell you how grateful I am for replying and for the blind shot of missing gnome-menus. I did a 'pkg install gnome-menus', rebooted the system - and bingo, I have the Applications Menu right there. I would have thought the gnome3 meta-package would have installed gnome-menus too, but it is a lesson. Thank you very much for helping me. But I do wonder why does gnome not default to using the Applications Menu - it makes life so much easier. I also seriously dislike Hotspot, and I have to forcefully turn it off every time I install gnome. I do wish gnome developers will give up on bad defaults for user interface. My personal thinking as far as UI is concerned is - stay close to Windows 2000/XP. The one good thing Microsoft ever did was to present a fantastic UI in 2000/XP, and there is no harm sticking to the principles therein. Thanks again & Regards Manish Jain _______________________________________________ gnome-shell-list mailing list gnome-shell-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-shell-list
