Re: Why apps? But anywho.
by James Richard Tyrer on Tuesday 06/Jun/2006, @07:39
Actually, I am only suggesting (at least to start) integration of the three major office apps: Word, Spread, & Chart. Embedding is sufficient for adding images.

Yes, the menu issue is one issue that would need to be solved to do this. And, I know that the KDE guidelines state that all operations that appear in toolbars must appear in the menu-bar menu.

I could probably list a handful of other issues, but I would look at these as challenges to be overcome rather than reasons not to try.

The first idea that comes to mind is to have a main menu bar that is always there no matter which part is active and an part menu bar for each part that only appears when that part is in use. I do not offer this as the ultimate solution, I am sure that with thought that we could come up with better ideas and refinements.
