Description Simon Strandman 2007-01-24 09:26:31 UTC

The new gnome slab menu is a great but it has a problem; there is no way to access all application without having to open the separate application browser.

Slab should have a submeny called "all applications" or something similar that opens the regular gnome menu. Users shouldn't have to open a separate application just the open the application they want.

This is the most common compliant I've heard about the new menu and fixing it would increase its usefullness a lot.

Comment 1 Alberto Passalacqua 2007-01-28 23:20:07 UTC

I agree on the need to show the standard menu inside slab instead of or as an alternative to the application browser. It would make things much faster.

Comment 3 Forgotten User nqeDWc8OMK 2007-09-19 17:09:06 UTC

I agree too.
I hope not to have to wait until ver 11 to have this function.

Comment 4 Federico Mena Quintero 2007-11-14 20:17:33 UTC

Moving to 11.0.

Comment 6 Pavel Šefránek 2008-03-16 09:22:35 UTC

This should also apply to the search feature (deskbar applet style). Interesting thoughts are here http://www.barisione.org/blog.html/p=74

Moving to 11.1

Upstream bug about this as well: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=396410

Sorry for the spam. I'm mass-closing gnome-main-menu/slab bugs: gnome-main-menu has gone unmaintained upstream because it's not usable in GNOME 3, and is not shipped since 12.1. I don't expect any maintenance updates for it in 11.4 either.
