actually, I think nobody every seriously proposed to call it tmfkap. :) that
was just a term thought up by sun when he was lost for terms, to have one at
all. it was better than none at all so it kinda stuck. :)
we can call it "GNOME Menu", or we can try to find a name that describes its
contents, like "Program Menu" or "Application Menu". we can also use
GNOMEprint or Footmenu. have I forgotten anything?
I'm for "Program Menu" or "Application Menu", because all other menu names
also describe what they contain.
