Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-menus

My suggestion is to have each program belong to a sub-category. For instance,
Sudoku could be in the Puzzle sub-category. Should perhaps be coordinated
with FreeDesktop.org?

The sub-categories aren't really that necessary when you only have five
applications of one type, so the sub-categories could be hidden at first just
like now. But when a normal category reaches a certain number of entries, like
15, then an additional entry, named something like Sort into Sub-categories or
Enable Sub-categories, could be added at the top inside that category. Or gnome
could just sort the entries automatically.

Where should I post suggestions? It would be hard to track ideas to a particular project if I posted it in Idea Pool at ubuntuforums.org (and you probably wouldn't see it).
