I see your point.
Of course i didn't intend to break anything.
Please tell me how the menu should be on win32 and i'll hack it. ("like
before" also accepted, of course ;-)
On GTK/GNOME we should strive for consistency and integration IMO.

I don't see where it wastes time.
Please believe me that i don't intend to do "brute force" but
suggestions. Proposals and screenshots are nice, but for such a thing
it's straight forward to provide a better base for discussion - the
