"Help" isn't window specific "about" isn't "Plugins" These items have no reason to be in the window's menu, as they have an effect/apply to the whole application. Furthermore, a lot more could be added that are app specific. Finally, I think that the issue about a user not expecting the spreadsheet and document to close upon quit could be solved by making the menu item read "Quit OpenOffice" so it's clear what's going to happen. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ayatana Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ayatana More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
