    I appreciate all the suggestions and effort, but I came to the conclusion that unless the window manager keeps a log of what was run from the menu or toolbar that I can just analyze simply, its just too tricky to figure out which menu options are being called most often. The part with the analysis and building the toolbar file is something I could do, but without a simple log I think it’s just a bridge too far.

    So I did the following. I commented out all of the toolbar icons that I haven’t used recently. Then I went through the menu-applications file and looked for all the ones I can recall using this year that weren’t on the toolbar, I added them.

    I haven’t had to use the menu for anything since then, yet.

    It’s said that the Americans invented some kind of special pens to be able to write without gravity in space. The Russians just used pencils. Sometimes simple is good enough 🙂
