[Fwd: Re: [Usability]Usability: Menu System Proposal]

[nils <n p sun com>]

Hi guys,

Since the G2 Core menu/panel layout seems to be going
in the direction of adopting the Ximian 1.4 layout,
did Ximian receive any specific user feedback on its 
menu changes that could be incorporated in to the menu
structure proposal for GNOME 2.0 core?

Thanks

Nils

Have you checked out Nils' proposal for default menu organisation on the
GUP website?
http://www242.pair.com/nilsp/nils/panel/menus.html

He's also working on a proposal for a menu and panel editor, but I'm not
sure if he's made that publically available yet.

Cheeri,
Calum.
