I think the problem was that this wasn't the reason that was being used to turn it down, when this was the only real valid reason, IMO. Unfortunately, I was kind of the one that started it because I was hoping it could easily be put elsewhere in the menu, but I'm afraid my comment came across more as "Here's what we should be doing usability-wise" which was not a well-advised comment considering that I'm neither the maintainer nor a member of the usability team. So, I think I screwed up. I'm still against it, but only because you claim that removing the menu item would cause you problems; otherwise I think it should be approved... *shrug* Elijah _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
