Re: [request] gnome-main-menu

Gnome-main-menu is nice, but have you seen the knock off the Ubuntu guys made called USP (Ubuntu System Panel)? I prefer the layout of the USP menu because it doesn't require a second window to be opened just to browse your applications.  I'd be curious if you could get it to work, me and another Arch user made a pkgbuild for it, but it was kind of buggy.

Good work and thanks, I'm using gnome-main-menu right now.

USP is nice indeed, though it uses a bit more of your CPU.
I once had it running stable on Arch (which was in november ), but lost the PKGBUILD and the patches over the last months (hehe). I do have a screenshot though http://img62.imageshack.us/img62/1628/screenshotzv8.png

This was of course usp1 at that time. Are you looking for the 'good old' usp1, or more for the 'forever in alpha' ups2 ? I may want to give it a shot, it should not be that hard, at least it was not for usp1.

Re: [request] gnome-main-menu

okay it is running

I will do some quick additional patches to get rid of some U specific buttons (and change some of them which are pointing to the wrong location)

Re: [request] gnome-main-menu

there you go. the initial port is finished. There may or may not be things that do not work or work as expected.   Please tell me what you like/don't like, or like to see changed. I may (or may not ) change things in later versions. If you want to be sure things get done, feel free to help and contact me.

Anyway, you can find it at http://pressh.archlinux.googlepages.com

Re: [request] gnome-main-menu

If people are still interested in gnome-main-menu, I found some time to update my old PKGBUILDS and they are now available from the AUR
