Personally, I'd like the global menu to be optional. I have tried to use it in my desktop, and with any screen beyond 20" inches it becomes pretty annoying. Any application in a small window placed in the lower half of the screen becomes a problem. Any small windows placed in the right half of the

On the Gnome whiteboard page it lists as a disadvantage of menu buttons "Could be difficult to find a consistent location for these in windows". I disagree. To me the logical placement of an app menu button is between the window control buttons (maximize, et al) and the window title, in the wi

The problem is that the applications also create .exe files for all of their uninstallers, and many create one for a "Repair" function, and all of these also get
