Rich: Although you can't make the Launch menu appear in the root menu, you can make the panel bigger if it is too small. Just right click on the panel and go to properties. You can also move the panel to the top, right or left of the screen.
You can also create launchers on the background (or on the panel) for launching favorite applications. So it's different, but there are options for making it more usable. Brian
Things like speed and functionality are pretty much objective, and I agree the CDE is much faster and that JDS seems to hav emore functionality. But ease of use is subjective: personally, I find CDE much easier to use than JDS. The biggest impediment to JDS' ease of use (to me) is the use of the Launch button. WIth today's huge screens and ultra hires frame buffers, asking someone to move the mouse all the way to the lower left corner just to launch an app is non-optimal. In CDE, I can right click anywhere on the desktop and have a "launch" menu appear: that is how JDS should work (or at least have the option to do so).
