I'll see what I can do about adding this to gEdit, but be warned I'm sorta
swamped right now. I personally like the idea of a foot, but I'm really
now sure how/if you can tell a gnome menubar to use a pixmap instead of
text for an item - I suppose I can use ascii art until I figure out how :)
Also, completely unrelated to this discussion, but I figured I'd bring it
up anyways - in the current version of the RGS, it still says document
based applications should provide a list of the four recently accessed
documents, and grey out their menu options when their aren't four recently
accessed documents. I personally don't see any reason for keeping the menu
entries around if they're not filled, and think the style guide should
instead dictate the actual placement of the recently-accessed list...
