Has any consideration been given to the menu configuration used by Ubuntu?
Here's a screenshot (http://shots.osdir.com/slideshows/slideshow.php?release=152&slide=50), but basically what I'm wondering about is the two primary menus being "Applications" and "Computer" with the "Computer" menu including links to key locations (Home, Desktop, Disks, Network, Recent Documents) and other system activities (Prefs, config, screenshot, lock, log-out).
Having seen Fedora, Novell Linux Desktop, and Ubuntu, I'm not even sure what the default Gnome menu configuration is anymore.
I'm quite skeptical that the relatively minor variations between the major distros on these menu layout issues leave any one distribution with a better solution (especially now that Fedora is closer to the upstream Gnome setup).
I understand that there is room for customization within distributions, but I'd love to see the best solution pushed upstream and adopted across the major distros.
While I'm a Fedora Core 3 user myself, I think the default menu breakdown (shown/described above) is the best I've seen.
Thanks, Steven Garrity

True. Currently fedora distribute some tools that belongs to the same type. Having configuration tools, scattered across several menus. Would be nice to have one off these two features, 1 - A reorganization of the menus; 2 - Menu editing.
I'd prefered both, but one off them would be nice.

Vincent is working on it upstream:
