Hi everyone!
First of all, I would like to say a big thank you to the persons making
Trinity possible!
In PCLinuxOS, between different window manager and desktop environment, the
layout of how apps are classified is very similar, while Trinity has its
own apps classification, which is the same as KDE3. Debian also has an apps
classification that is common across almost all WM and DE.
I have seen somewhere that the next release of TDE will be
freedesktop.org
compliant. Does it means that TDE will adopt this new way of organizing
apps? I would like to say that I prefer the new method of organizing the K
menu than the one used in TDE. As an example, let's look at these 3 menu
sub-levels: System, Utilities and Settings. These categories are almost
overlapping in each other and it ends up that something that would be
better placed in Settings ends up being in System or in Utilities. For this
reason, I prefer to use the KickOff menu instead of the classic menu in
Trinity, because I just have to type the name of the program I want to
start in the search bar at the top, and it ends up being faster than trying
to find where is the program I want to start.
Of course, the new way of menu classification is not 100% perfect, but I
would say that, in my opinion, has made it a little more simple to use.
Would it be a good idea to make an option in the menu configuration program
to let the users choose between the Trinity way of organizing the K menu
(as in KDE3) and the new way of organizing the K menu (as in KDE4 and all
the others DE and WM)?
So, what do you think about it?
Have a nice day!

I've been watching the responses to this thread, and they seem to be avoiding
response to the original issue.
I also am not a developer, but I wonder if such modifications to the
look-and-feel of Trinity should be encapsulated, if possible, as an
additional theme, or in an analogous manner?
