I don't have a huge desire for change either.

We seem to change the menu layout in pretty much every GNOME minor release that
we've created. That's churn every 6 months. What makes you think that slab is
any better? How long has it soaked in a Novell release?

[or is this an excuse to avoid having to maintain code specific to Novell? - a
'yes' answer is fine, I can appreciate that desire...]
