I would like to say how i do things, that won't really mean it's how it should be done or anything, its just my experience using menus and as such i guess its a simple opinion. When I install xubuntu, the very first thing I do is to change the panels, L place the Menu panel, the one whit the "Start Menu", at the bottom and change it to actually show "Start" instead of only the Xubuntu logo, I know thats a very windowslike thing to do, but a lot of people who uses my computer comes from that world, and it just work. Then i add an autohidable panel on top, one that has expandable size and i center it. why? because if its centered and don't use the whole space when I have Maximazed windows and i want to Iconize them, or Close or what ever, that Panel wont interfere whit that desired action, actually this is the main reason why I always change the Start Menu Panel to the bottom, so it wont interfere whit the window managing(?) icons ( _ [] X). In this top panel i like to have a launcher for: Internet (a firefox and a chromium launcher as of today) IM (an expandable box whit emesene, empathy and xchat launchers) Music (exaile, decibel-audio-player and audacious) Editors (Abiword, Audacious, Inkscape, Irfanview(trough wine)) And then a few folder launchers, my /home, the /mnt/hd and two other folders for mine and my brothers particular folders, and the trashbin. I don't know if this helps or not but thats it. -- Bruno.-
