Apps Menu Structure Proposal. I'd like to make apps menu more fine-grained by introducing submenus
Contents |
Explanation
I like the way desktop widgets are displayed in Mac OS X (easy accessible any moment - e.g. clock, calendar, calc)
Alternatively, instead of 'Office' we could use 'Desktop Publishing',
putting
'Groupware (Kontact)' into 'Internet' +merge 'Graphics' to 'Multimedia':

app he/she is looking for.
And they don't believe that the menu is for newcomers, experienced users use 'Search' field anyway.
