Re: Why has menu editing been removed?

[Chris Chabot <chabotc xs4all nl>]

So people are supposed to 'not change the default setup' ? The first thing
i do with any new OS instalation (Windows, etc) is edit the menu's to my
liking. That is afterall the stuff i use every day on my computer. Assuming
people will just leave it default is like asuming they are only running gnome2
as a 'gimic' and not as a day-to-day tool.

Now i know im preaching to the choire here, and this is all talk and no code,
im just mentaly preparing my self for the flood bug reports ;-)
