- Rename to "Text Editor" in the .desktop file

- Use traditional menubar layout on XFCE, Unity, etc


I hope it means that the drop down menus are present. I've been using Pluma since the horrible - IMO - "cleaner interface" was introduced. It's a shame, though, because Pluma is missing several very useful plugins. I've tried to get used to Bluefish for programming, but I just can't get used to it.

And here i thought .desktop files were the most useful thing coming out of Freedesktop. Then again, they also do the same thing with File-roller. That is the name of the program and the binary that Gnome provides for handling compressed file archives. But the provided .desktop files calls it "Archive Manager". This kind of inconsistency in the name of userfriendliness is as likely to cause idiotic user behavior as counteract it.
