Well if you Reload or Stop you are not going anywhere :)
Anyway this is what the HIG suggest and what nautilus does. We should not
change this ihmo.

I dont think so. Menubar should really provide access to this functionality
ihmo, where are keybindings ? Are they somewhat visible ?

>I feel it would be a good idea to add the galeon1 options of own colors

Yeah. We need to make it apply to current view and not to all pages.
Btw does someone use only one of these at one time ? Wouldnt be easier to
have just one menu entry (cant think to a title atm) ?
I'm just asking ... I dont even know about the accessibility implications
of this.

>Is encoding really something that fits on user menus rather than

I would love if someone could explain me the use of that menu. I have no
clues about i18n :(

>Page Source probably belongs more in tools (if we have tools)

I dont think so. Otherwise a lot more things could go in Tools.

I think the Go menu should contain just navigational items. Why a list of
opened windows ? Doesnt the panel do that function already ?

I'm not sure to get what you mean here.
