Of course you've never used it -- nobody has because it's just a stub and doesn't do anything useful yet. The point of it is that they're going to expand it's usefulness later on. I personally would like to see apps have the ability to add arbitrary menu items in there, because my app is at a point where it's just coming out of it's infancy, and I've avoided adding a menubar at all because the toolbar was good enough for the limited number of features that I've had so far, but as the app expands and matures, I have greater need for a menu. I'd prefer to put my menu into the shell's Application menu rather than using a traditional GtkMenuBar because those are quite ugly and outmoded, really. -- http://exolucere.ca _______________________________________________ gnome-shell-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-shell-list
