Hi,
While this is an interesting topic, this topic is better dealt in the
Gnome mailing lists.

Any improvement/change needs to be done in *all* the GNOME applications
and the Upstream authors for those applications need to be notified as
well. While some of the upstream authors are subscribed to this Ayatana
mailing list here, this conversation is not really going anywhere
without their input. [Unless Ubuntu plans on fixing the menus for every
GNOME application]

Ayatana Mailing list already has a *lot* of discussion going on and
piling in more general discussions here will drown the useful Ayatana
relevant suggestions made by other members.

Also the current File menu in /most/ apps follows the /current/ HIG :
<http://library.gnome.org/devel/hig-book/stable/menus-standard.html.en#the-file-menu>

There is going to be an update to HIG:
<http://live.gnome.org/UsabilityProject/HIG3>
It is better to bring up this topic for the discussion, so that the HIG
can be updated if a better suggestion is agreed upon.
