Re: [Usability] "Favorites" vs. "Bookmarks"

[Gregory Merchan <merchan phys lsu edu>]

Finally! This should be an easy one. :-)

They are not "Favorites".

1) "Favorites" denotes a value judgement. When circumstances demand it,
I'll bookmark a site I despise.
2) Everything but the panel calls them "Bookmarks".

Problem to be fixed: Bookmarking an application? Let's have those menus
be user-editable instead.

Worse problem: Application-orientation. Start a new thread.
