Description Thiago Sayao 2005-09-04 16:21:15 UTC 
The gnome Applications menu on SUSE is too confusing because it has too many
sublevels.. It's often easier to just fire a terminal and start the program from
there.. so the menu becomes useless..
I think its a good idea to just stick with the default gnome menu which has 2
leves.. or just do what ximian did to XD2 and add the "More" submenu..

Thanks

We reduced the levels, see bug 113531.
Comment 2 JP Rosevear 2005-09-20 12:27:06 UTC 
That patch was pulled.  Looking at improvements for 10.1.
Comment 3 Thiago Sayao 2006-06-08 15:51:46 UTC 
Just installed 10.1, still too many sublevels.. Come on, take the ximian menus and ship with it! :) The current menu is just unusable, i had to change it to be able to find something. Thanks.

We'll actually be replacing this with the menuing system from SLED 10 in the near future.
