At least Windows doesn't display non-working app menu items, as

Resolving them was FAR more troublesome than the Registry fix I

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.

In other words, they don't look like Windows' apps.
 
That's all surface. More of DFS' GUI obsession.

It's not a matter of looking like Windows apps; it's that they often
look like something made by a blind 12-year-old. They ARE often ugly,
and there is really no denying that. However, they _do_ the job, and
that's what they should be evaluated on.

 
I'm denying that they're ugly. What applications are you talking about?
Maybe it's only the ones I don't use.

I already mentioned a few to Chris Ahlstrom like Calibre, GIMP and
Handbrake. Since I'm not using the system at this moment, I can't come up
with more yet.
