Jim,

I have a few questions:
How do you see this menu structure interacting with the existing two
menu options?
Are you proposing that we replace our currently three menu structure
with the single one of the gnome-main-menu?
Do you propose to have it as an option?
If it is to be the latter choice, how do you see this interacting with
the existing single "Main Menu"?
Does it replace it or sit alongside it?
Should this its own module or part of gnome-menus?
For the non-hackers in the crowd, what langague is it written in?

For the record, I am mixed about this menu becoming default, but happy
for it to replace the other windows/kde-style non-default menu.

Cheers,
Corey
