Description Keith Lea 2005-01-30 05:02:21 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
I installed GNOME 2.9 and I couldn't find my Desktop Preferences. I don't have a
Menu Bar, just a Main Menu. It looks like the only way to get to desktop
preferences now is through the Desktop part of the Menu Bar.

There are two issues here:
1. Users who had just a Main Menu will be confused when upgrading to GNOME 2.9/2.10
2. There should be a way to get to Desktop Preferences from the Main Menu

Steps to reproduce:
1. 
2. 
3. 


Actual results:


Expected results:


Does this happen every time?
