Here's my start: > > - GtkMenuButton needs to export its menus to dbus for use by the HUD there.. that is the thing that i don't like at all... we need to patch nautilus to show a complete menu bar. nautilus (and other gnome apps) with just one menu + settings cog isn't really that suits very well to Unity.. As file manager is more important than any other [gnome] app we would really want our file manager to look like a real app :-) So due to that reason it may make sense to switch to some other file manager... even if its currently less maintained and spend a few resources into improving that to a level that is competent enough for the next LTS. I think we have done that in the past "for a greater good" Thanks. > - While F10 opens the new gear menu, there is no keyboard accessible > way to access the "view menu" > - Traditional keyboard shortcuts like Alt+F, Alt+V, etc. have been > dropped, which I'm thinking could cause trouble for accessibility. > > Jeremy > > -- > ubuntu-desktop mailing list > <a href="mailto:ubuntu-desktop@lists.ubuntu.com">ubuntu-desktop@lists.ubuntu.com</a> > <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-desktop">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-desktop</a> >
