Main Menu Applets

Currently there are two versions of the gnome main menu applet available. One written in Python and one in C. Both applets are capable of replacing the gnome-main-menu applet and both contain the Administration and Preferences menus of the System menu.

The Python applet also contains the places menu. The python applet is also integrated with tracker to allow for searching for applications (and if you enter the exact application name, it will launch that app). Currently I don't have tracker installed so I can't demonstrate that, all I can demonstrate is the launcher). Here is a sample video:




The C applet doesn't contain the places menu, but it does contain everything else. Here is a sample video of it:



The python applet can be found in the awn-py-applets repo and in this thread Here
