I've been using GNOME all that time and I'd never noticed them. This is the one in the top panel which, with focus-follows-mouse, means I have to *quickly* move my mouse to the top of the screen from the tiny empathy buddies window — without it resting for a moment over any other window, otherwise *that* application's menu ends up in the panel by the time I get there? That's great fun with a trackpad and a large screen, where it might take two strokes of the finger to get from one corner of the screen to the other. And only *then* can I find the 'add contact' option, that I expected to find *in* the empathy application over there about 25 inches away at the bottom right corner of my screen? I actually filed a bug because I couldn't *find* the 'add contact' option. And then didn't understand what I was being told, when I was told it was in the 'GNOME Shell context menu'. It had to be explained to me in graphic detail. A stunningly unhelpful development, it seems to me. I would strongly resist the suggestion that Evolution should gain this monstrosity, especially if it's unconditional. -- dwmw2
