[News] GNOME Officially Gets Highly-Flexible Menu Editor

Alacarte: GNOME's long overdue menu editor

,----[ Quote ]
| The Alacarte menu editor is one of the major additions in GNOME 2.16.
| Already previously available in Ubuntu and other distributions, Alacartea
| dds a degree of customization that has been generally lacking since
| GNOME dropped its previous menu editor more than five years ago during
| the early 2.x releases.

I still find it amusing that Windows offers the choice between vanilla and
vanilla. Only "Programs" can be changed and, by default, the menus are a
sordid mess of company names, as well as groups with useless text files and
licenses that makes scrolling a pain. The editor, much like that offered by
Internet Explorer for bookmarks ("favorites") seems like the least usable
thing in the history of computing. Microsoft could use some competition or
inspiration.
