Actually, microsoft (which seems to be what GNOME folk are
trying ever so hard to emulate) came up with a decent solution -- they
added shaded areas to menus to indicate that something is hidden from
the user, and the user can just hover over the are to open up the
hidden entries.
So, for people with a phobia of information, the "bad" extra
information is hidden; but it is easy enough to unhide, without
having to remember which menu one needed to go to to do so.
