Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: kodos
No "kodos" item appears in the GUI menu on either Gutsy or Hardy even
though a /usr/share/menu/kodos file exists and appears to be well-
formed. It looks like it's trying to appear under "Programming" which
is not enabled by default on my machines, but when I go into System,
Prefs, Main Menu, "kodos" is still not available under
Applications/Programming. "Bug Report Tool" and "Python" are available
but not checked.
I don't know enough about how the GUI desktop menus are supposed to work
to guess at why this is happening.
You could also argue that anyone who needs kodos can figure out how to
run it or add it to the menu, but that's not always true. I intend to
do a quick demo at a user group tonight, and while some folks are
interested in regexps, they aren't Linux/Gnome/Ubuntu power users (some
have extensive Windows backgrounds :). They might like to goof around
with kodos, but won't have the first clue what to do if it's not in the
menu after install.
Gutsy: kodos 2.4.9-5
Hardy: kodos 2.4.9-6
