update to new gnome-main-menu

confirming, the new version requires network manager 0.7 which is not available in ubuntu yet though

I'll grab this. NM 0.7 has hit Intrepid, the existing gnome-main-menu package is uninstallable, and I'm interested in installing it.

I fail at closing bugs from changelogs (the colon is important, apparently ;)).

gnome-main-menu-0.9.10+dfsg-0ubuntu1 uploaded.

The Tag said "wishlist" for the main gnome menu, I assume.

Lately the Ubuntu masters have not been too pleased with my comments.

I still do not know excactly what I am supposed to do in Launchpad, nor has

the Ubuntu Forum been much help, since I never seem to get an answer to

specific questions that I am searching for.

So I use trial & error to learn on my own, (one can skip the manuals,

since most laymen & newbies cannot make much sense of them, again the

problem is both layman & writer (& or programmer) able to properly communicate with one another.) -

My wish is for a better, faster & easier to use & edit main menu in Ubuntu Lucid.

What I mean by this is: that no one should have to wait 4 seconds after

clicking the menu icon for the menu to finally appear after boot or reboot into the desktop.

Also, instead of archaic menu scripts, why not treat the menu & individual items as folders & files

in nautilus. This way one can backup a complete menu, delete, edit or add menu items super fast

& simply. - Even though most of us Linux users do not like Windows & Microsoft very much, we can still

learn from them, and I like their menu. Why? I can delete, sort, edit from the menu itself.

And for bigger jobs, I can browse the menu in real time & make massive changes very quickly.

In Ubuntu I can only edit one item at a time, move one item at a time & I have to still delete the old item.

Some very quirky things happen with the complicated Ubuntu menu, sometimes one installs and the item is

copied, sometimes it's not, sometimes it has the proper icon sometimes it does not, and if it does not,

icons are all over the place, it can literally take 15 to 30 minutes to find the proper icon, if one can find it at all.

Sometimes, after a menu upgrade, menu items are gone, & again it can take a very long time to rearrange &

put all items where the user wanted them in the first place, some menu items refuse to be moved, copied or

deleted (on rare occassions, no doubt a permission error, but since there are so many places where they are stored, one cannot always tell wich list to edit to change permissions.)

I know the Ubuntu masters want to walk a pure, straight, unwavering line, & OS philosophy change does not come easy.

Yet, I see a time when computers will be automates, we tell them what we want, & THEY will figure out how to do it, & THEY will do all the work for us.

Is this not what a computer and software is supposed to do, save us time, do it fast, well & efficient, keep us from monotony, get us the information accuratly & superfast, & keep us interlectually stimulated, yet still in touch with reality?

I hope that Ubuntu will be that system, unite all of Linux, adapt the best methods from Mac & Microsoft, & shelf the rest!

There is my wishlist, main menu & beyond.

BavarianPH,

Ubuntu forever!

Oh, forgive me Ubuntu masters, I do not want to be a grasshopper forever!
