           Summary: Menu editor difficult to use.. requesting better.
           Product: Ubuntu
           Version: unspecified

            Status: UNCONFIRMED

Back in Warty, there was the "Win95-style" (if you will) style of editing menus,
where each menu was a folder.  This was easy to use, because I could drag and
drop menu items, although choosing an order wasn't possible.

In Hoary afaik there was no way to edit menus.  

Now, in Breezy, there is a menu editor, but it is locked down.. I can't just
drag and drop or delete stuff.. I have to go through a program, then click New
Entry, etc.  It is very inconvienient.  I have resorted to storing icons in a
folder so that I can create them easily, move them around, delete them, rename
them.. etc.   

I request that there be "Win98-style" (or XP, for that matter) menu editing.  In
those environments I can drag and drop items onto the menu, move them around
with the mouse, right-click them and rename them, delete them, etc.  It is
extremely intuitive.  Also it would allow me to delete the duplicated menu items
I have in my Preferences and Administration menus.

Please also bring back applications:/// or some equivalent.  Sometimes it is the
easiest way to get things done.  I'm not sure how such a useful feature could
disappear.  

Please, I beg you guys to bring back modern and usable menu editing.  

Thanks.
