Moving Applications -> Desktop Preferences to Desktop -> Preferences is
intentional and the result of much upstream discussion.
This is not a big issue per se. What I strongly dislike though is
that "custom menu" is getting longer and longer. Think about
somebody with a poorer sight who really needs much bigger letters,
and add on the top of it a translation to some language where
descriptions tend to be more verbose, although "Applications" is not
a four letter word either, and you ate much of a panel. Multiple
panels are not a universal option. I would like to have at least a
possibility to replace these "headers" with some, even abstract,
icons. Tools to customize menus, at last, would be nice too.
However, any missing menu items or menu items that you feel
shouldn't
be in the menu are probably just teething issues which you should log
against redhat-menus. Before you do so, though, make sure you have the
very latest gnome-menus and that the gnome-menus package isn't
installing any .menu or .directory files.
At this moment this seem to be a somewhat mess. Old redhat-menus
and new gnome-menus, which was all what was available yesterday,
collide a bit and that is why I was just asking what is going on.
Quite possibly things will get more orderly in short time.
OTOH this "MTA Switcher" on a menu left me scratching my head. How
often do you perform such operation? Every second day, once a week,
once a year or once in a blue moon after careful consideration of
pros and cons? And the fact that it even works for a non-root and
without any password got me floored. Somebody may even use it in a
full innocence not realizing what s/he is doing. How this may
happen?
