Will the default menus be changed to those proposed by Joshua Blocher? The arrangement that he proposed is better than the current one.
Let me go astray even further here...
I find that it's very much redundant that the Layer menu has the term "layer" in *every* item. It could go away in most of the cases. Would it be worth to create a patch?
I brought this up before but didn't get around to doing anything about it. Done properly I don't see why anyone would object. I'm fairly sure you could find something in the Gnome HIG or styled telling you not to repeat yourself redundantly repeat yourself. But dont quote me on that.
Competative analysis of other products will also give you ideas for more succint menu lables.
