In classic mode (with shell 3.15.91, extensions 3.15.90), I find that the application menu submenus are a bit wide.
Comment 1 Florian Müllner 2015-03-05 11:47:48 UTC 
I suspect that's because someone thought that
  "OpenJDK 8 Policy Tool 1.8.0.40-19.b12.fc22.x86_64"
and
  "OpenJDK 8 Monitoring & Management Console 1.8.0.40-19.b12.fc22.x86_64"
where acceptable "application" names ...

app-menu: Remove unused function

apps-menu: Make it a bit narrower

General rule: if it can fit "GNU Image Manipulation Program", it is
wide enough ...

So turns out it was much simpler - we're just setting a very generous fixed width in the code.
