SUSE Style Gnome Menu on Ubuntu Edgy/Feisty
When testing out OpenSUSE not so long ago, I was pretty impressed with the function and usability of the gnome menu bundled with the distro. I wrongly assumed this was something specific to SUSE but happily, I’ve been proved wrong.
The package that gives this functionality is available straight from the Ubuntu Edgy/Feisty repositories.
Get and install the package gnome-main-menu
sudo apt-get install gnome-main-menu
Right click on the gnome panel, select ‘Add to Panel’, find the section called ‘Utilities’ and select the ‘Main Menu’ app indicated by the picture of the computer.
Bobs your uncle! – Done…

Hi..
This didn’t work for me. I installed the package and added the utility to my panel but when I click on it i just get the normal menu. What did I do wrong?

Oh, wait, my bad.. I didn’t notice there were 2 main menu’s. I enabled the wrong one. Now I enabled the good one and it works. Much thanks!

I did that too first to be honest!
