Description of problem: Cairo-dock includes an applications menu add-on that was there in Fedora 15, but is missing from Fedora 16. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora 16 package: "cairo-dock-plugins-2.3.0.3-3.fc16" (64-bit) Cairo-dock version: 2.3.0-3 How reproducible: Install cairo-dock and cairo-dock-plugins. Look for the "applications menu" add-on in the "Add-Ons" section of Cairo-dock's configurator; it's not there. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install cairo-dock and cairo-dock-plugins. 2. Weep. Actual results: No applications menu plugin is available. Expected results: The applications menu plugin was expected to be available. Additional info: The applications menu plugin was available in Fedora 15. In fact, cairo-dock v2.3.0-3 is the version in both F15 and F16. I could be mistaken, but it would seem that somebody in Fedora-land decided to remove that feature from the package that comes with F16.

Really? We're in the next release, and not so much as a remark on this? If we keep losing functionality in Gnome 3, it will end up being wallpaper.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 16 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 16. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '16'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 16's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 16 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" and open it against that version of Fedora. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 16 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2013-02-12. Fedora 16 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
There's no Applications Menu still in the Fedora 17 version, but there's apparently no intent to fix the issue, so there's no point in reopening against a later version.
