Description Robert Ancell 2011-11-27 22:53:53 UTC 
Use GMenu for menus replacing the traditional menubar.
Comment 1 Robert Ancell 2011-12-19 10:50:53 UTC 
This requires the application to use GtkApplication (bug 664965)

I've attempted to start a discussion at https://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2013-July/msg00012.html about app menus; in point 4 I express some confusion as to what belongs there in GNOME Chess.  Hopefully it gets some attention.
Comment 3 Michael Catanzaro 2013-07-06 20:04:17 UTC 
The menu that will be in 3.9.4 is:

Preferences

Help
About
Quit

A note from the commit log:

"Not necessarily the final design. All the other games have New Game in
the app menu. But I hesitate to put it there without Open and Save.
These are all very much window-specific options anyway.

Maybe it's OK to have window-specific options there, if the app is
single instance. I'm not sure anyone really knows.

And maybe we want Chess to allow multiple instances again. So not
necessarily the final design."

I also made the toolbar mandatory in this commit, and added lots of options there.  Robert, you might want to review the UI to make sure you're OK with it.  See also Bug #574113

No opposition from me, you're doing a great job Michael! I also read your -devel email about what should be in the menus. I'd say "match the other apps" is the correct behaviour and as your email clearly indicated that's pretty hard to work out what that is at this time :)
