+Agree 100%

+&gt;<i> Well, personal experiences differ, we all know that. Although I can

+</I>&gt;<i> that I ever read a user complaining about the &quot;More&quot; feature within
+</I>&gt;<i> years of forum reading. Either people really did not regard it as such
+</I>&gt;<i> a nuisance or if they did they easily changed it with the menue
+</I>&gt;<i> editor.
+</I>&gt;<i> I also experienced that people who install apps the manual way tend to
+</I>&gt;<i> place them on the desktop (create an icon) rather for quick access
+</I>&gt;<i> than care for putting them in the menue.
+</I>
+I have never complained about that *very* *annoying* feature. And I am
+sure many others annoyed by it haven't complained in a forum.
+Having a nice stable easily accessible menu, in alphabetical order works
+best for me.
+(If there are too many items for one column in the menu page,
+automatically add a parallel column, as used to be the case.)
+If someone wants that cache-cache behavior, at least it should be an
+option, and not fixed. (e.g,, as in Microsoft windows, where
+cache-cache is the default, but it can be disabled with a readily
+accessible option.)
+Sure, you can always rearrange the menu, but when eventually the
+application is uninstalled, the changes will remain in the menu. Another
+unnecessary nuisance.
+
+my 2 cents :)
