Courtesy of Mrs Impala, who is using the LookXP theme with icewm on her Linux PC:
It is easier for a rich man to pass through the eye of a camel than for an end user to find the fraking text editor in the Look XP "aplications" menu.
Well, actually she didn't say fraking, but I've been watching a lot of Battlestar Galactica lately.
LookXP, for reasons which presumably made sense to a programmer who had never actually used a PC, grabs all the KDE and Gnome "Start Menu" items (many dozens or hundreds of items, split over a dozen or so submenus), merges them, shuffles them, sorts them according to the phase of the moon, and dumps the entire listing of hundreds of applications into one enormous scrolling menu.
Putting a bad interface into a graphical menu doesn't mean you have a good interface, it just means you have a bad interface in a graphical menu. I don't know what that's so hard for a certain kind of developer to understand.

Dude, If I'd wanted to say frakking, I'd've typed it with two "k"s. Proofreading is your friend :P
