I think all these ideas on a new menu structure are

menu structure for the following (1.6.0) version.
Actually, changing the layout of the GUI menus (while not
changing the substance of what the menu items do) is a pretty
safe operation -- rather unlikely to introduce bugs.
*IF* we have agreement that the current trial setup for the
menus is an improvement, and that it's a setup we can live with
for a while (we don't want to make such changes too often), I'd
be inclined to go ahead with it. The costs are
* Translators have to do a certain amount of cutting and pasting
in the .po files (after I put out a new .pot).
* The relevant section of the User's Guide has to be rewritten.
Do we think this is worth it?
I have taken a quick look to the current windows snapshot, and
I must say that all appear to work ok. Specially, the problems
in launching gretl in Spanish are corrected.
That's good to hear.
