I think it would be a real benefit to know that in every app you use, you're able to perform common actions on the opened file, without thinking "where's that button/menu again? what app am I using?".
As a rough sketch, we have three items, the two latter being menus: [Activities] [Application name:] [Document name] The Document menu would only be shown when the current window exports some hint about the document it's currently editing, e.g. by a X property on the window, which would be made easy via a simple GTK+ function. (AFAIK Zeitgeit wouldn't work because it doesn't know about the window, only about the application, which is needed for multi-instance apps.) Does that sound completely mad? ;-) Cheers _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list desktop-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
