Gnarled Old Men

?

I think we can improve this factor in GNOME by improving the way we start applications, one way would be to run the application from the ‘Applications’-menu on the menubar, but why don’t we add another menu for specific tasks or actions? Likewise:

An application could register its actions for this menu in some kind of mimetypie or gtk-boomarkie way.

A downside will be that this would add another menu to the menubar, which makes it long and maybe hard to read. Also, some things in the System (or Desktop) menu are also actions. What about combining these menus or moving some menuitems around?

Maybe we had this before, or someone has already proposed it in the past, I was to lazy to check up history Overall, I think this would be a neat idea.

By the way, anyone knows what this (below) is? I’m using blogs.gnome.org.
