Vista Start Menu for Gnome Panel
Source (link to git-repo or to original if based on someone elses unmodified work): Add the source-code for this project on opencode.net
An elegant and functional menu with many themes, not just vista.
Currently supported languages:
English, Czech, French, Spanish, Portuguese
THIS IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH UBUNTU 8.10 Intrepid Ibex
The lightweight Vista Menu implementation is compatible.

I may work on this in future, but if any python programmers out there want to take this over and improve it, please email me for the latest source.

also...
is there a way to show the menu without adding it to the panel. for instance, if i had no panels, could i press a key combo and make vista menu appear?

It should be:
sudo apt-get install python2.5 python-xdg python-cairo python-gconf python-xlib deskbar
Sorry if this was already spotted, I didn't read the 22 pages of comments...
But I love this applet and can't wait to see how it progresses! I'd love to see more themes integrated or (even better) a theme to match the current interface/icons.

I am going to change your start menu icon though, I hope you don't mind.
I want a regular Vista icon.
I migrated my 77 year old dad's Vista desktop to Hardy. The more familiar looking the better for him.
Have you seen any Vista start icons? I have looked for three days & still have not found one <GGG>
Terrific menu. This should be very easy for him. It installed in like 30 seconds!
Good directions!
Thanks Much!
