After seeing the demo at the Novell Code 10 launch party last week, I decided to try the new ‘Computer’ applet Novell uses as their main Gnome panel menu and the ‘Application Browser’. The source code can be found in the slab module of Gnome CVS and I had no problems compiling the thing. (Update: the module name in CVS is now called gnome-main-menu.)

The computer menu
Overall I’m quite impressed, it certainly looks good for a first version. Some random comments:
(gnome-main-menu:25751): WARNING **: network_status_tile_open: could not find NetworkManager's applet.glade to the console, but I do use NetworkManager and it’s running alright.
The Application Browser
All in all I think this applet is really promising. With some more love it could certainly replace my standard Gnome ‘Applications, Places, Desktop’ menu, but in its current shape it’s just a bit too immature and lacks a few features to be a full replacement.
