> Thoughts? My 2c: It seems odd having project properties outside the project menu. I also find the positioning of this a bit unusual. I'd suggest that the QGIS menu should appear last, so that we keep to the standard convention of having the "file" type (project) menu first. I'd also suggest that Exit QGIS should remain in the project menu so that it keeps the convention of exit being the last item in the first menu. On a related note - I'd love to see us add a way for plugins to add pages to the general QGIS options so that we can avoid menus being cluttered with additional "settings" items. Eg processing options and the python console options should just be extra pages in the main options dialog.
