Gnome Icons, Gnome/KDE Menus need improvement

From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040518 Firefox/0.8 Description of problem: Comments below refer to GNOME and the mix between fedora, fedora.us, and livna.org: ========================================================= 1) Half of my icons depress on mouseover (rhythmbox, totem, gimp, easytag, scribus, def. icon), and half just light up (xcdroast, gaim, thunderbird, firefox, screenshot, lock, logout, sound-juicer, menu icon). Why is that? 2) Also...why are some of the icons so awful. The easytag icon is completely unreadable - it's a bunch of color dots spelling easytag! Could there at least be fewer colors? The xcdroast icon seems rather ancient compared to other icons of better quality. dillo, rclock, xtide, commander editor, Kandy, soundtracker, aterm still have no icons.. 3) The menus have been critiqued in all the FC2 reviews, and I have to agree - why are half the menu entires filled with names like CD Player, Address Manager, Digital Camera Tool...and the other half contain Ethereal, Kopete, KPPP and other application names that will confuse a new user. 4) Why is it that the package htmlview installs /usr/share/applications/redhat-email.desktop and /usr/share/applications/redhat-web.desktop, which link to the correct apps, when those just result in me getting duplicate menu entries for my desired email and web agents. 5) What do the More <X> submenus accomplish, when it's not clear what the criteria is for what goes in them? 6) Why do the gnome menus appear all in one giant column where I have to scroll (at rather slow speed) to get anywhere, while under KDE they appear in multiple columns? 7) I am stupid and erased my home icon some time ago in GNOME, but now I want to give spatial nautilus a chance. How do I get it back? Surely there must be a way to do this? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Didn't try Additional info:
Ideally file one issue per bug report, and use bugzilla for bugs, not for questions. Questions/discussions should go to fedora-list instead. See http://fedora.redhat.com/participate/communicate/ If you file multiple issues in one report, and those issues have different resolutions or are resolved at different times, bugzilla can't be used as intended to track the status of the issues. Choosing an arbitrary resolution to cover this.
I've tried this before. Wasn't subscribed to -devel though, and my message was never posted (the list being closed is another bug if you ask me, but people don't seem to care). I'll try one more time - I'm subscribed now.
If you want to post without subscribing, join http://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/post-only The list is closed because otherwise it gets enormous quantities of spam.
