General Info
------------
The 'gnome-main-menu' is a set of three utilities, a mate-panel applet
similar to the traditional main-menu, but with a few additions:
* it does not provide direct access to all the applications on the
system, but rather displays user specified 'favorites' and recent
launched applications[1].
* access to all the applications is made through the application
browser, a larger format application than main-menu managed by the
window manager to allow resizing, etc.
* the final utility is gnome-control-center which is laid out exactly
as the application browser, but providing access to all the system
configuration utilties.
Both the application-browser and the gnome-control-center are accesible
directly from the main-menu.
As from 28th November 2012 this component is maintained for usage with
the MATE Desktop, see http://www.mate-desktop.org.
