[libreoffice-design] Cleaning up the menus

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Hi everyone,

I think one issue that hasn't been tackled for a long time are the
menu entries, which can at times be a bit confusing or are at least
not very intuitive to use. I started adapting Writer's Insert menu to
the way I use it. I grouped the items actually inserting some kind of
object and separate from these the items dealing with text, like
footers, indexes etc. At the bottom are menu entries dealing with some
sort of embedding ( I assume that relatively few people use that
compared to the top items. ) That way the distance between the
'Insert' menu button and the (in my case) most used items was
decreased. Additionally I enabled the icons in menus, which IMHO makes
it much easier to find a certain function.

Do you think adopting some of the changes would make sense and if yes,
should we go through each menu and do the same? An advantage is, that
this probably increases usability quite a bit and is very easy to
'implement'.

Cheers

Alex
