I disagree with the "Go to" and "Bookmarks" menus being useful on the
Desktop. People should use the Files app for file management (which I
think already has a Unity quicklist). The Desktop is not a file browser
because it can only show one folder. The Help menu is also confusing
since it points to file management help. A few people really like GNOME
2's easy access to the Connect to... button but that's not too hard to
find in Files.
