Office
The top level could just as easily be called
'Document'
Between the two I think the latter plus an "s" makes more sense. Maybe expand
to "Documents and Publishing". Home users need documents, but not necessarily
office.
Development
For the relative few that do any of it.
Edutainment& Health
Edutainment & Games probably shouldn't be distinguished.
Emulators
I'd put this in System. How many people use more than one? How many even know
what an Emulator is?
Games
Graphics (symlinked)
I think graphics stands alone.
Lost& Found
Multimedia (both audio and video)
I think subdividing media into graphics and multi-media is artificial. On
Windows systems I put VLC, Adobe Reader, IrfanView, ITunes and so forth in a
"Media" "folder" in "Programs".
Network (I think Network is a subfolder of Settings,
and the Toplevel should be
'Internet' or 'Inet')
How about just "Connections"? Or, "Sharing"?
Settings
I like SUSE's "Personal Settings" to distinguish their many from the many
system settings.
System
User-Apps
Seems like department of redundancy to me.
Lastly, the 'quicklaunch' app
Similar to Windows quick launch. Certain things everyone needs frequently
ought to be there, while the main menu needs as many of either "most recently
used" or most frequently used" as fits without exploding the main menu into a
second column.
