If this get's double posted I apologize, please disregard the
double post and reply to this one instead. The Mailing-list
automatically detained the email for Moderation because it
included an entire conversation that was way too long and
exceeded the 40 KB limit due the message size and when I went
to cancel it and now I cannot cancel it because the

reading some comments on this mailing list I decided to do a
feasibility experiment by running the Linux Mint "mintMenu"
application menu in Xubuntu 12.04 instead of the standard XFCE
"xfce4-application-menu" drop down menu. In my honest opinion
the ONLY really innovative thing that Linux Mint has provided is
this "mint start" menu design. Xubuntu does everything else in
a far surperior fashion than the Linux Mint XFCE spin and is
much higher quality. This is why I will never ever use the full
Linux Mint distro is because Xubuntu provides much higher
quality applications and is better integrated with standard
Canonical Ubuntu which I think is #1 most important aspect of an
Ubuntu variant. <br>

style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255)">When
the "mintMenu" is integrated with Xubuntu it makes for a fast,
speedy and incredible user experience. The mintMenu is a much
better way of accessing applications then the
"xfce4-application-menu" because it combines a drop down,
application search (like xfrun4) and favorites. If only it
could be packaged with the Xubuntu installation at least as an
optional panel item I think the mintMenu would make more sense
than the drop down. After using mintMenu Now accessing programs
is as simple as hitting the <Control>Super_L key and I can
instantly search all of my programs and get to them instantly.
I have never worked this fast before using
'xfce4-application-menu' and 'xfrun4' separately as two
different applications. <br>

I can't see mintMenu landing in Xubuntu.<br>

team could create a very beautiful plugin front-end for "xfrun4"
that could become the new application menu or it could be merged
together. In this way the user no longer goes to a drop down
but hits a hotkey like '<Control>Super_L' that pops open
the 'xfrun4' drop down but it is attached to the panel. The
experience would be similar to the mintMenu or the "spotlight"
application and file search dialog found on Mac OS.</div>

I can't see the improvement over opening the window in the middle of
the screen. (Did you know if you press the down arrow in xfrun4 in
12.10, you'll get an extended application finder dialog?)<br>
