Description William Jon McCann 2012-09-26 18:14:25 UTC 
Since gnome-menus is a core dependency of GNOME 3 it is a bit strange for it to install a menu editor application as a side effect. This tool was useful before other menu editors appeared. However, today it is not that interesting. There are much better options. It would be nice to remove it.

Remove the simple editor

gnome-menus is a dependency component and we don't really want it
to be installing applications as a side effect. There are other
better and maintained options for menu editing now anyway.
