Bug#493961: menu: Debian menu not visible on fresh installs
Quoting Yavor Doganov ([EMAIL PROTECTED]): Maybe it's not a bug in the first place. I suspect that the maintainers believe the Debian menu is entirely redundant for the vast majority of GNOME users. Perhaps they're right. Which I indeed partly agree with, for the record. I think, but I may be wrong, that the Debian menu came before there was a good standardization about .desktop files (which, if I'm correct, are the way to create entries in most GUI environments). If that's correct, maybe it should be time for both systems to converge (I remember discussionsand disagreements...in -devel, about this). -- signature.asc Description: Digital signature

As a consequence, that bug should be reassigned to gnome-menus. From the quoted changelog entry, it's very likely that, this decision being a deliberate decision, the bug will not be fixed. I leave up to Joss and gnome-menus maintainers to either tag the bug report or close it. I'm retitling it accordingly. Please note that I have *no* personal advice on the issue..:-) signature.asc Description: Digital signature
