This is announce the 0.1 release of gde_appmenu, an application menu for gtk+ based desktop environments
gde_appmenu is an implementation of the application menu common to these found in GNOME 2.0, Mate, XFCE and LXDE on GNU/Linux and Unix OSes. This is however independent of any particular desktop environment and can provide quick and simple access to the installed desktop applications in any context where the desktop provides no direct access. It works in X11 and Wayland sessions. gde_appmenu provides a simple floating, movable, window initially at the top left corner of the screen, with an application menu that drops down to offer various application categories as defined by the desktop session active at the time. The categories follow the Freedesktop.org menu spec standard. gde_appmenu is written in GNU Guile and requires gtk+ 3.0 glib 2.0 GObject-inspection 0.72 (or above) GNU guile 3.0 guile-lib GNU G-Golf (https://www.gnu.org/software/g-golf/) The 0.1 release is (for now) available at https://www.atai.org/gde_appmenu/gde_appmenu-0.1.tar.gz and can be built following the standard GNU convention. For details, see the README.md file in the release. A permanent source repo and release site and mailing lists will be set up for this program and will be announced with later releases. Enjoy!
