Gnome Menu Extended (Debian package)

Gnome menu with KDE and OpenOffice.org submenus for Gnome 2.10 or later.

If you install both Gnome and KDE then the Applications menu will become a mess with overpopulated submenus. Some distributions try to solve this by hiding many Gnome apps in KDE and most KDE apps in Gnome. I do not like that. I want to access KDE apps in Gnome and Gnome apps in KDE. So this is my attempt to both maintain desktop interoperability and unmess the menus.

Why should one install both Gnome and KDE at all? You might be sharing your machine with somebody who prefers the other desktop, or you might be a desktop junky like I am.

Installation

1. Save as gnome-menu-extended_1.2.1-1_all.deb
2. dpkg -i gnome-menu-extended_1.2.1-1_all.deb

Wait patiently while the icon cache is updated.

Removal

dpkg -r gnome-menu-extended
