[Sugar-devel] RFC: Kill the delayed menus for good

[Bernie Innocenti]

Hello,

Michael just passed by the Acetarium and, since the dinner was late, we
found the time to test and review his latest prototype^W patch.

I'm loving how the menus suddenly are now snappy and responsive. Please,
test it yourself and report back. If we like this change, I think we
should go on and also kill the code that this patch makes redundant.
(please, let's not add another configurable knob!)
