I agree with your basic proposal for understandable menus, but the 
scrolling menus are more broken than the original problem.  IMO, we also 
need a clean, intuitive menu editor AND structure of sub-menus.  Just 
having "Utilities" isn't enough, there needs to be a starting sub menu 
structure that developers also buy into.
