@rtaycher:
While indeed just blanket getting rid of menus is a bad idea, a lot of applications have menus that don’t need them. Just look at the calculator; it has three menus, and they could easily be replaced by two buttons (One for preferences, and one for help). The View menu’s options would go into the preferences dialog; and the copy-and-paste items in the calculator menu aren’t needed (You can get at them by right-clicking in the calculator view).

A lot of other applications don’t need menus either; indeed, the only applications in the default Ubuntu\Gnome install that actually need a menu may be OpenOffice, Gedit, and the terminal.

“I have to say that I’m more than a little skeptic.. Why, why, why would I open files from my calculator? I use that for math..”
I used a calculator in this mock-up to illustrate the potential of the design. I firmly think this use of Zeitgeist can be a hit and bring real innovation to the desktop, “even” on the calculator.

I hate people stupidly trying to get rid of the menu without any decent universal replacement for it in sight.

I fully agree with you… As I said we do provide a DBus Interface for interaction and soon enough libzeitgeist will be there too. But i would like to have some standard widgets that make use of these functionalities and tracker ones
