Ok, but you invented your own method of measurement. I'm not saying it's
wrong, but proving something like that involves reading a lot of HCI
theory and learning how these sorts of tests are usually done, where
possible flaws in the testing process would be ironed out.

I'm now half-for and half-against the mac menu thing, but the main
argument that's persuading me against it is that there may be many
non-KDE apps that we need to be compatible with. Still I haven't seen a
very long list, so I'm inclined to say that making the jump is worth it.
