[TRACKER] GNOME Menu Tracker
Last modified: 2020-11-06 20:21:45 UTC
This is a tracking bug to follow the mess of proposed menu changes in one place and hopefully provide a summary of those changes.
Here's the grouping and list of bugs: == Placement of Current Items in Panel == bug 97402 - Location of "About GNOME" menu item bug 75312 - Placing a Help menu item in the menu panel bug 92719 - Moving Desktop Preferences out of Applications == Naming of High level menus == bug 89874 - Naming of the "Actions" menu to "Desktop" or "System" == New Additions == bug 130733 - Adding "Quickstart" for things like Email and the Web Browser bug 68469 and bug 11763 - Adding applets / panel config from menus == Behavior of Menu Items == bug 84555 - Should menu items have right click popups? bug 94120 - Actions menu should be editable bug 93506 - Difficulties in editing panel menus from context menu == New Ideas on Menus == bug 161613 - Redesign of Panel Menu with "Applications, Places, System" *** bug 157933 - Redesign using "GNOME, Applications" see also: http://lists.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2004-June/msg00302.html bug 94112 - Redesign using "Tasks, Recent, Go, System, Help" == New Ideas on Menus Items == bug 81545 - Task oriented Menu names *** Actually has patches! Summary to follow.
Basic Summary of what I believe is a common consensus == Some assumptions for the sake of argument == There exists an Applications menu There exists a Desktop menu which used to be the Actions menu (mabye you prefer System, whatever) == Summary == Should have a help menu located in the "Desktop" menu bug 75312 Should have "quickstart" menu entries based off the Application menu bug 130733 Should have an About GNOME located in the "Desktop" menu bug 97402 Should have Preferences located in the "Desktop" menu bug 92719
Note that in the future, we should have an applications menu editor. It might change what's best for the "Behavior of Menu Items" category.
Adding one more: bug #92277 - Shut Down and Reboot in the Actions menu
Adding bug 167090 - Run Applications should be dropped from main menus
Adding: bug #129073 - Right click on "panel menu button" should have "Browse Applications" option.
bugzilla.gnome.org is being replaced by gitlab.gnome.org. We are closing all old bug reports in Bugzilla which have not seen updates for many years. If you can still reproduce this issue in a currently supported version of GNOME (currently that would be 3.38), then please feel free to report it at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-panel/-/issues/ Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
