This would be less of a problem for me, since as Timo said, users that install such programs are likely not to be afraid by system stuff.

The expression "System" is not the only, nor the main problem: adding a submenu when you only have 7 of them is a major change in Applications. For now, this menu is very nice and only contains "productive" apps, not tools. In a day-to-day use, users won't need this system tools, however you may name them - I like the idea of separating clearly these categories of programs. And "Tools" already exists, if you don't go this way: it's called "Accessories". If you agree we should do something, here is short list of options: - the easiest may be to move g-s-m to Accessories and hwtest to Administration - another more complex approach could be to create a submenu in Administration called System Tools or something like that, so it would not annoy us when we want to work and not administrate the system. This would work on a long-term outlook, since we can completely remove the System Tools menu from Applications. [- Almost out of topic: we could hide hwtest-gtk and instead use gnome-device-manager with a button to start hwtest, like we used to do. This tool would be useful (no way of getting hardware infos ATM) and could go to Administration.] The constant moving of items between the menus is IMHO the result of the fact that we don't really know what do to with them: no perfect scheme has been found so far. Hope we may find the right one. -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
