I dislike looking for options in menus... one of my favorite changes is the toplevel Options menu.\r\n\r\n2. It's too inefficient for the Widget's menu to be a submenu.\r\n\r\n3. I'm not aware of a way to move the Help menu as you have described.\r\n\r\n4. The location of the Plugins menu doesn' really matter to me as long as it's top level.\r\n\r\n5. I've never used the Block or Layer menus; therefore, I wouldn't be against moving or removing them."}}
