It seems to me that nobody knows how kickoff works.
Who wrote this code?
Me and others. The icon size is hard-coded at the moment, we may make it
configurable with the next version.

Nice job, so far! I'd vote for the option of requiring it to be user
configurable, thank you. I deal with a lot of different screen sizes and
resolutions and would really prefer to be able to set both the new and old
style menu icon size to something more reasonable than huge.
Same for the fonts while we're at it. Oh, and did I mention the other
display choices such as name only, name+description, name on
top+description on bottom, etc, etc?
Then there is that annoying issue where you have to click back and forth to
navigate through the menu levels. Drives me nuts. Couldn't there be a
mouse-over with a short timeout for the left/right arrows that would send
us forward/backward in the menu tree without clicking?
Thanks for listening. I'm trying to use the new style menu more but there
are those idiosyncracies of mine...

The browsing trough Applications menus is mine problem too.
1) Automatic vs. Manual opening:
Some people think it is better as prevention of unwanted items to open, but
for me it is a problem as it slows down the browsing to level that I don't
want to accept. I know that there is a better option.
2) The old KDE menu style keeps on screen the whole tree.
I can see where I am. With kickoff it is not the case.
Even with automatic switching I would have to remember more items than I have
to with KDE.
The GUI is introduced as a help to reduce memorizing of file/application
position and keep focus on file content, ie. actual work, which improves
productivity. Reversing that in the name of clean look is against the very
reason for GUI.
BTW, what would be good mail list to talk again about kickoff.
I like cleaner look, but functionality is above all for items like system
menu.
