Description Moo 2015-04-02 15:09:13 UTC 
In GNOME 2 and GNOME 3 with gnome-session-flashback the menus could have submenus.

System Tools -> Administration
System Tools -> Preferences

In GNOME 3 with the classic extension there are no 'Administration' and 'Preferences' submenus under the 'System Tools' category.

Instead everything is listed directly under 'System Tools'.
I propose that gnome-extensions menu handles submenus and maintains the hierarchy as intended to improve logically grouping related applications into submenus.

The link seems to have changed and is now found at:

The article argues that instead of submenus you should use headers.
That is a reasonable argument.

Then I argue that we should follow the suggestion of the article and separate the submenus into headers instead of submenus.
Comment 3 Moo 2015-04-02 18:22:00 UTC 
Can we re-open this bug, or should a new bug be filed to suggest to use headers in the app-menu?
