Yes, I was treating it as obvious that the introduction of a real menu bar would require abolishing the misleadingly-named "Menu Bar". :-) I don't think that would be much of an advantage or a disadvantage. On one hand, it would make things like Places harder to get to (not that I've ever actually *used* that menu, except to get to the hopefully-soon-obsolete "Search for Files"). On the other, it would reduce categorization problems such as the reviewer who concluded that Ubuntu has no help system. -- Matthew Paul Thomas http://mpt.net.nz/ _______________________________________________ Usability mailing list Usability@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/usability
