Gnome 3.0 - menus

["Frederik Hertzum" <hertzum hotmail com>]

At the section of GNOME's wiki about 3.0 it is disccused how to give the 
deskop a more "objected" feel to it - one big issue seems to be menus. A 
suggestion on the wiki is that menus should resemble the menus in apples Mac 
OS desktops -however someone apparantly thinks that users in general will 
not like this. An alternative method could be as simple as assigning the 
menu to the object on the proccess list - with a single right click the 
regular menu available now would show + the programs own menu - this could 
either be a simple entry containing all the top level menu items or the menu 
could list normal system menu items, add a spacer (line or something) and 
then include the top level menu items.

One issue with this is in the case of multiple windows per program - the 
solution with the top level menu items being incased is perhaps the better 
solution to this.

Another varation for this would be right click menus - is none has been 
defined by the programme itself, simply apply the top level menu items to a 
right click menu.
