Michael, your point about ergonomics is very true in principle, but
there seems to be a missing link in its implementation. The two-tier
system, with a 'More...' submenu is very sensible, _if_ that submenu
contains the most rarely used entries. IIRC, a bunch of proprietary
applications do this with self-masking menu entries. In our case
(mdv/mga), there is no mechanism to ensure this, as far as I know.
That would be a major step forward.
Best,
Jérôme
