Feature changed by: Andreas Jaeger (a_jaeger) Feature #306895, revision 7 Title: Gnome-main-menu improvements - openSUSE-11.2: Candidate + openSUSE-11.2: Rejected by Andreas Jaeger (a_jaeger) + reject date: 2010-11-15 10:53:58 + reject reason: Not done in time for openSUSE 11.2 Priority Requester: Mandatory Projectmanager: Desirable Requested by: Atri Bhattacharya (badshah400) Developer: (Novell) Description: For openSUSE 11.2, it would be very useful if gnome-main-menu could be improved feature-wise and also performance-wise. Several common features that need to be implemented are as follows: 1) Right click menu to clear recent documents, recent places, etc in the main-menu slab. Important for privacy purposes. 2) Relabelling of YAST to Administrator settings in the main menu slab. 3) Adding frequently used shortcuts to the gnome-control-centre slab. At the moment the commonly used tasks in the gnome-control-centre only has a shortcut to 'set preferred applications'. Other commonly used shortcuts like user-account prefs, etc might be very useful. Performance-wise the main-menu is a lot faster and responsive today than in 10.3, except during the first startup of the application- browser slab after a restart or log-in. This takes a few seconds, and this time taken increases with increasing number of applications (tested on 11.1). Discussion: #1: Atri Bhattacharya (badshah400) (2009-07-16 10:58:21) There is a patch that implements the right click to clear recent documents/apps in gnome-main-menu thanks to David Liang. This is detailed in the following bugzilla report: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=187879 Will it be possible to include this in a nearby 11.2 milestone release? P.S.: The above bugzilla is not accessible without suitable authorisation. #2: Andreas Jaeger (a_jaeger) (2009-08-12 10:48:49) Vincent, is this something the GNOME team likes to take - or should we reject this? #3: Vincent Untz (vuntz) (2009-08-12 11:19:20) For 1: as pointed out, there's a patch. Magnus or Scott should take a look. For 2: this is the GenericName/Name mess. Not sure what we can do here. For 3: it's more or less planned, we just need help from people :-) #4: Atri Bhattacharya (badshah400) (2009-08-21 02:23:52) This is still missing from milestone 6. With respect to this feature, things do not look bright at all. Please let me know if I, as a common user, can do something to help here. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/306895
