It should be noted that the HIG does *not* specificy that the first item
must be named File. For reference,
http://developer.gnome.org/projects/gup/hig/2.0/menus-standard.html
specifically says about the File item:
"If your application does not operate on documents, name this item for
the type of object it displays. For example, many games should have a
Game instead of a File menu. However, place the Quit menu item last on
this menu nonetheless."

So any proposed changes should probably still have a 'file menu' in name
only, but the string associated would be something like "Playlist" as
has been proposed.

Appologies for not responding to this thread sooner, I've been busy with
work and other fun muine-related things. I promise to give this topic my
full $0.02 soon.
