We wouldn’t touch gnome-panel package, just install mintMenu package.

If we edit gnome-panel config file so that it uses mintMenu applet instead of GNOME menu applet that should work, right? How would you do it?

I know you want to make it, my question was how you
want t do it.

It would require another gnome-panel package built and hosted somewhere and it always needs to have a higher number than the original Fedora one, otherwise it will switch back to the Fedora package during an update. You see the problem?

We have a separate Remix – Community Fedora Remix and we will make it default in that Remix.

How you want to make this default without touching the gnome-panel package? Apart from that I don't think you should make this default: It's not GNOME default and Fedora has a strict policy to follow upstream.

Thanks for this! I’d been having trouble getting the slab menu working in F12 and this seems like the next best thing.
