The menus for the desktop are defined at
<https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MenuBar#The_desktop>.
There are two claims in this report. First, that the menus "are
confusing for users logging in". However there doesn't seem to be any
evidence for this.
Second, that the menus "provide no functional use". That is not correct:
they act on the contents of the desktop folder, just like the menus for
any other folder. (That the desktop did not have menus was a persistent
problem in Gnome 2, which resulted in -- for example -- the context menu
for a file on the desktop being longer than, and therefore inconsistent
with, the context menu for *exactly the same file* in a folder window.)
If there is evidence that the menus are confusing, please provide it and
reopen this report. (They would need to be more confusing than useful,
i.e. wasting more time than they save, to warrant removing them.) And if
any item in the menus is not functional, please report that separately.
Thanks.
