I do have questions for users.

I've been toying with the idea of automatic menu generation using the openbsd pipe menu function, x11/menu-cache and a new port jgmenu.

https://github.com/johanmalm/jgmenu

The goal being that the instructions could be trimmed to a bare install and users would be free to select the apps they want. As long as the app has a freedesktop spec *.desktop file, it will show up in the menu. Perhaps have the menu generated on each login or on user command. As it is now, users have to copy n' paste n' edit placeholder entries in menu.xml and wbar to customize.

x11/wbar still requires manual configuration and could be replaced by a second x11/tint2 panel with just application launchers. Tint2conf gui works well.

I am also considering using the drop n' drag function of x11/yad with net/unworkable for torrent downloads and for printing.
