    Following calciumsodium previous message- maybe this can be a bit off-topic-
    On the antiX Menu:
    -The current icewm shrank from 3 entries to a single on (so, 2 less entries), which is nice
    – It’s been a while since I installed antiX, but I think the “install antiX” menu goes away after installing (so, one less menu entry)
    – anti must be tired of reading my suggestion to move the “refresh menu” menu entry to the applications menu (I’ve not testes 19.4- is this menu entry using gksu, so it works even if not inside the time period when the root password is active – I mean, the used does not have to retype it)
    – The help menu – is a very good idea, but who uses it? It would be probably be better to move it inside the applications menu too.

    This is as far as my “good” suggestions about streamlining antiX’s menu go… Now some more “out there” ideas:
    – Place the “Desktop” menu inside the Applications menu – how often does a user change desktops anyway? or toggle conky on or off? Is there really a need for it to be on the first layer of the menu?
    – color code run/kill/control centre/exit and any other remaining system related menu entry to grey/white, all grouped together on the bottom of the menu, after a separator- this way it seems less confusing to users- they know that the grey/white entries there are “non apps”

    P.
