Summary0002223: Improve menu extension for Gnome Shell and do not use Gnome Flashback
Description

After having discussed with Josselin Mouette (Debian GNOME Maintainer), I concluded that it's not a good idea to rely on GNOME Flashback as many things will not work flawlessly since that session is mostly obsolete (compared to GNOME Classic or GNOME Shell).

We should look into either:

  • revamping the menu structure to use a single level of categories
  • or improving the menu extension for GNOME Shell to support menus which are more than one level deep

I found the following upstream bug which is related to this problem: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=739480

In any case, we should configure the GNOME Shell session to include the "apps-menu" extension by default.

I uploaded kali-defaults 2.0~5 which enables the "apps-menu" extensions in GNOME Shell. I also dropped the change which made gnome-flashback the default session.

In parallel, we're having some discussion to see whether we really need to use a menu to make all those applications discoverable...
