And your changes can get undone with an update. The current scheme isn't user-friendly. The menu items, as they are, aren't too brilliant. Nor is, having to hover around and wait for extra details isn't user-friendly, and it doesn't work with all items. Some don't have the additional information, or the pop-up is just as vague as the menu item. Then there's items that are hidden in menus for no good reason. GUI applications that you're quite unlikely to be starting up from a command line. You really do want the most coherent, and user-friendly, menus as the initial settings. -- (Currently running FC4, occasionally trying FC5.)
