I'll gladly volunteer to be against it ;) While otherwise a decent idea, this makes the menuitem have two different actions without clearly stating so. There is visually nothing that will tell the user that the eject button is any different from the icon before the text. Making it look like a button would sort of solve this I guess... BUT this would also disrupt keyboard navigation (and most likely assistive technologies too), since although you could implement it so that pressing right would select the small icon when on the item, getting back would not be as simple. Pressing left now brings you to higher level menu so it would either require a double press *sometimes* (creating a web of confusion unless you spot that there is this funny icon that caused it) or some totally different method making it very undiscoverable. -- Kalle Vahlman, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Powered by http://movial.fi Interesting stuff at http://syslog.movial.fi _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
