I realise that and I know that this is a less/not important patch when
you consider some of the other ones on Trac. I was just trying to
justify pinging the list about MY patch and trying not to come across
as an ungrateful &^%!&#^$%
;)

I appreciate the point about option fatigue / menu clutter, IMHO
adding the option to the popmenu "feels" right. It is this menu that
gives you the Shutdown, Reboot, Exit, Run mythfilldatabase etc. I
don't think the menu is too cluttered yet, but that is my opinion and
I will defer to the core devs.

If a second level menu was introduced I think moving the Shutdown,
Reboot, Exit options into it would be appropriate.

More the issue I think was the F11 config screen, as this had another
entry and label added to it. It is looking a bit full for a single
page.

Cheers,

Roo
