Squeeze that Menu


One of the most important, if not the most important, of the "Desktop" programs I use works A Ok on Debian, even tho it is not designed for that distro.

I mean the marvelous Gnome Global Menu, it is not an Appleism, it is simply godd sense, it saves you from wasting screen real state on crappy resolution lappies, period; that's the main reason I installed it on any lappie I get my hands on.

Specially on a lappie like Hercules, the Vaio antique, were the 1024x768 resolutions feels really kinda crowded...

For what I've Googled, in the end used the PPA for Jaunty, and it worked Ok, it printed a couple of funky warning lines upon install, tho:
