People are talking about two different gnome menus here. We have in fact
3 different menus in gnome. 

1. Gnome-main-menu :  Also known as SLAB. The "windows xp" inspired one,
with application browser - this is the default one when installing
openSUSE/Gnome.

2. Gnome-menu-line : The default of "most" gnome-distros/desktops

3. Gnome-menu-traditional: Same as 2, but with just one "button"

Vuntz was "complaining" about the levels in 2 Gnome-menu-line, AlbertoP
understood that as complaints about Gnome-main-menu/SLAB. And so the
debate went on.

Can we call gnome-main-menu SLAB from now on? Just to remove any doubt
about what menu we are talking about.

Whatever changes will be done to the gnome-menu-line (not default menu
in opensuse/gnome) I do not care at all, but I can see the wisdom in
cutting down on levels there.

What I do care strongly about is SLAB. It was a PITA at first, but with
the latest patches and some modifications in gconf-edit, it's the best
thing since sliced bread. If there are memory-leaks, they should get
fixed of course, but I just don't see them. Then again I seem to be the
odd man out, since I don't have any problems with beagle either.

Pretty please with sugar on top, do not take away SLAB, or make too many
changes to it, since it's now coming of age and starting to make sense.
Refining it, OK just not making huge altercations just because some
users haven't figured it out yet.
