Re: Novell Start menu [was Re: [Usability] Thoughts on GNOME and DTP]

There was no consensus on whether to make it the default in 2.16 or
not. As the code is not yet available in GNOME CVS, reaching a consensus
is a bit difficult to do. The design is not meant to copy the XP start
menu. It is based on several iterations of usability testing on real
users in our lab. The discussion on desktop-devel-list was less about
the actual applet, and more about the fact that it was not openly
developed in GNOME cvs. I am sure a real discussion about whether to
include it in the gnome-panel package and make it the default, will
come soon enough. Until then, it is folly for someone uninvolved in the
development of the applet or the discussion for whether to include it,
to claim that it is highly unlikely to become the default.

IF Novell develops an, at the moment, closed source start menu

Unreleased != closed source.
