Every single time we have this discussion, someone points out that we have too many capplets. Despite some good efforts at annihilating and assimilating various silly ones, there are still too many for a usable menu. In the real world, outside of Pure GNOME, distributor and 3rd-party (Java springs to mind) added capplets make the menu more unusable. Given that a) GNOME still has too many capplets, and b) there are additional ones that will always be added to the menu, I think making access to them as usable as possible is a laudable goal. Reducing the number of capplets is still a laudable goal, but hasn't solved this problem in the past. -- Andrew _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
