Both in rh9 and in fc3, I have tried to figure out how to rearrange
items in the main menu bar, without success.
Anyone know how?
I would like to create subcategories. Like under "Games" I would like
to have the subcategories "Cards", "Tiles", "Arcade", and maybe even
"Tetris". I would like to get rid of the "More" crap (i.e. "More
Games", "More Accessories", "More Graphics Applications", etc.). I
would also like to get rid of the arrows at the top and bottom of a menu
that allow me to scroll to see the rest. (I don't want to lose the
scrolling ability if more actually is there, I just want to eliminate
the need for it by reorganizing the menu with sensible submenus, at
least sensible to me. For example, "System Settings" has a submenu
"More System settings" which has only one item "Print System Switcher".
Now, where's the sense in that?! There's no need for a submenu which
has only one item unless there's a reason to offset it from the rest. I
do notice that, at least here in rh9, the submenus are listed before the
other items in a menu, like directories being listed before files. I'll
have to reboot to fc3 to see if it is the same there.)
I found an editor in KDE that allows me to do this very thing, though I
don't think these changes translate over to the Gnome side. I'm
discovering several things about KDE that I like more than Gnome. But
overall, I'm still a fan of Gnome (because of other things). I like KDE
for the pointer changing to a bouncing sort of representation of what I
just launched. It's nice to know that I'm not just waiting for
something that did not register a double-click. But in Gnome, in xterm,
I like being able to hit [Shift][Ctrl][t] to get a new tab and
[Ctrl][PageUp] and [Ctrl][PageDown] to switch between them.
