At least Windows doesn't display non-working app menu items, as Linux
used to do a LOT.  Click them and nothing happens.  Resolving them
was FAR more troublesome than the Registry fix I showed.

 
When was 'used to do'?  1998?

Actually, DFS showed this to be the case recently, and many times over
the last few years. This is not an old problem; it's a problem Linux
distributions have yet to iron out. The lack of polish is very
noticeable.

 
Name the offending apps, please.

GIMP, for one. The interface is very confusing to anyone who's used better
software. Handbrake would be another, though it isn't that difficult to
get used to, in my opinion. Calibre would be another, as it is generally
very confusing. I would add Pan to that list, but I only say so from the
perspective of a newbie since I grew up with such interfaces and kind of
like the way it works.
