Those who are new wouldn't know to right-click, and their voice is not heard here. If we want GIMP to gain popularity, it has to appeal to users on their first encounter. (That's why I fuss about trivial things like the clone tool not doing anything when you just click, IMO it should pick a spot on the first click after the tool is selected, since it can't do anything else useful with that click) There should be an obvious way to get to the menu items that don't fit, whether it's done by wrapping the menubar, or by adding a menu item that lets you get more, etc. I actually prefer something that would attempt to keep "File" on the left and "Help" on the right, where everybody looks for them, rather than scrolling them off. Additional items could be replaced by a menu button with a symbol that drops down the hidden items... or maybe another copy of the triangle button could be placed before "Help" when items are missing, where it's more apparent that it's part of the menu. _-T ________________________________________________________________ Speed up your surfing with Juno SpeedBand.
