Description Seth Nickell 2002-03-01 03:18:35 UTC 
This allows users to customize the menus (which the menu applet already
allows), and apparently makes keynav nicer. It also reduces more unecessary
code duplication.

There are a few problems with the menu applet that need fixing first, I'll
add dependency bugs at some point.
Comment 1 Dave Bordoley [Not Reading Bug Mail] 2002-03-19 19:56:18 UTC 
if we do this the menubar really needs to be divided into seperate
applets, since clicking on any of the buttons in the menubar
highlights all of them. See bug 75026 which was marked wontfix.
Comment 2 Seth Nickell 2002-03-21 12:34:04 UTC 
We need to add dependencies for all the bugs we need to fix before we
can do this without a usability regression. Don't have time to do it
now though.

Basically this means: expand the event region, not prelight funny, use
all available space for drawing, sort alphabetically (feature I added
after menu applet work stopped in earnest, not hard to add though)...
And maybe some DND and right click menu additions or fixes. I might be
forgetting some.
Comment 3 Dave Bordoley [Not Reading Bug Mail] 2002-04-08 04:37:03 UTC 
A bunch of dependencies for this bug.
Comment 4 Kevin Vandersloot 2002-04-16 18:06:36 UTC 
We would also want to move the panel-menu applet into gnome-panel 
itsself. It doesn't belong in gnome-applets.
Comment 5 Seth Nickell 2002-08-20 17:21:21 UTC 
Adding dependency on bug describing the need for panel applets to
receive events from the edge of the screen. This would be very
critical to the menu applet.

Adding the QA contact
Comment 9 Mark McLoughlin 2003-01-12 04:42:38 UTC 
The foobar is gone on HEAD. We still need to sort out shaping the
edges of the panels and expanding the event region for applets to the
edge of the panel.
Comment 10 Seth Nickell 2003-01-12 04:52:00 UTC 
HEAD is not targeted at 2.2, right?
Comment 11 Mark McLoughlin 2003-01-12 05:18:26 UTC 
right. Its for 2.4
