Description Dennis Cranston 2002-03-02 06:42:52 UTC 
According to the "Proposal for GNOME 2.0 Menu Structure" document
(http://www242.pair.com/nilsp/nils/panel/menus.html), the 'Actions' menu of
the menu panel should contain a search entry.

I will attach a patch that adds this item to the actions menu.

Whats the status of this. Is the patch going to be applied?
Comment 5 Dennis Cranston 2002-03-25 03:40:07 UTC 
I wrote the patch, but I do not have write access to the gnome-panel
module.  So, what does the gnome-panel maintainer think?

There is a /lot/ of discussion in that bug, not all of which is
supportive of the patch.

Because of the patch, I'm setting high, but obviously the interested
parties may want to hash out the issues a bit more. [My personal two
cents: this is an eminently sane idea and the patch ought to be
applied if it doesn't suck.]

I think we should merge this patch and remove installation of the
.desktop file from gnome-utils (so we don't end up with duplicate
Search entries). I think the entry should be "Search for Files..." not
"Search..." though.

        * foobar-widget.c: (foobar_search), (append_actions_menu):
        add 'Search for File...' to actions menu. Based on patch by
        Dennis Cranston, #73183.
