Re: [trinity-users] Kmenu Reasoning Explained

Standardizing kmenu into a logical order limiting each menu/submenu entry to ~ 10-15 items with a max depth of ~4 is much needed. Here are two thoughts for consideration: (1) of the existing distros that did a good job with kmenu, SuSE's inclusion of a 'Utilities' submenu that held all the kde apps really helped with organization. Here is a shot of what I adapted from an old openSuSE 11.0 install: [93k] http://www.3111skyline.com/dl/dt/trinity/ss/kmenu-utilities.jpg (2) everybody also has a subset of applications they use most frequently. What I call "mytools" or I guess what "User-Apps" is intended for in your setup. For what it is worth, here is a shot of the collection of mytools that may have a submenu or two that may be of interest: [138k] http://www.3111skyline.com/dl/dt/trinity/ss/kmenu-mytools.jpg (I don't know how the duplicate basket entries got there. On suse, when you edit the gnome menu, you often get unwanted side-effects in the k3 menu as well) I think this effort to tame the kmenu jungle is well worth the time and I thank you for your efforts. -- David C.
