ok... If the user rearranges his Menu badly, then maybe we could give a "*reset menu*" option? but ya, maybe we can't trust users with their menus... they might get lost... :) I've got another idea...
How about a *Gnome-Do* or a *Launchy *for GIMP? - Alt+Space could bring up a small window just like in [1]. - The user then types his keyword, and that would bring a dropdown of all the matched plugins (Example: typing *blur *could drop down all blur-related plugins -or- typing *canvas *could dropdown all canvas related plugins) - The user uses arrow keys to choose and hits Enter to run plugin. (Or just hit Enter for the 1st suggestion) - The suggestions would be adaptive, i.e, more frequently used plugins appear higher in the drop-down - The search could span the plugin-name, menu-position and the description (Example: typing *logo *could dropdown 3DOutline, and so on) This way, the placement of plugins in the menu could remain unchanged, and the user still gets to his plugin easily. I seldom use the Applications Menu in my Ubuntu. I don even know where the application is in the menu. I just Win+Space! People using Gnome-Do or something similar can easily relate to this suggestion.
