Hello,

Thanks Duncan, I can see the design changed today.
Thanks developer. Thanks to ones who did this.

Manu, I doubt I am misunderstanding your mail. Are you going
to remove ALL log out options in "System" Menu? If that is the
case, I don't think it is a good idea.

I think the biggest advantage of "System" Menu over tray icon
is accessability. Right now I can do whatever I want with my
"Ctrl + F1" hotkey and I am happy with this. I suppose it is the
"almighty point of action" so I can do almost everything with
only 1 hotkey.

Although I think the tray icon is good for new user, I seldom
use it. There are 2 reasons: (1) I'd rather keep my hands on
keyboard rather than on mouse and (2) it is easier to use the
"almighty Ctrl + F1" than to remember 10+ hotkeys.

I know you are not the one who make the decision but please
express my opinion to those who do. Thanks a lot.

P.S. "Add to panel" is great !!! Thanks ^^
