Thanks for the tip. I'll try to go check out the GNOME response, but
in any case, I hope the desktop people take this sort of thing more
seriously. This is another good example of how Linux could easily do
better than Windows. Many office professionals have start menus so
long they wrap into a second column, making it a chore to find any
program. Surely we can do better with a little thought up front.
thanks,
Matt
