Don't you know what is with Gnome's menus? I have only one level of folding after update which creates mess :-(.
Yes, that's a design decision of the GNOME team. For years, we've been unhappy with the deep-nested menus we had and wanted a menu structure similar to the one from upstream.
FWIW, you can change this by unsetting the XDG_MENU_PREFIX environment variable -- this is being set in /usr/bin/gnome.
Just an additional comment to this... other Gnome-centric distros (I'm thinking of Ubuntu here) are also one level only in the Gnome menus.
One person's mess is another person's good thing :-)
If this is done to be similar to Ubuntu, then it makes little sense: Ubuntu made many bad UI decisions which forced me to change the distro. As you know in Windows the applications menu is not categorized, and this is not its advantage, it is their problem: with all entries put in one place you need to scroll much (in Windows they have scrollbars, in Gnome there is none), menu search etc. Probably this change was made to copy Windows behavior in Windows 7 but one should take into account that one menu for all apps with scrolling for Windows was a forced solution because they unlike Linux have no menu categories. It is unreasonable to blindly copy anything. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
