Since the Preferences menu entry in the applet opens a new window it should
probably have an ellipsis in the label. Attached is a trivial patch to add
this.

I stick with the stock item. Makes stuff simpler.

This one is a toss-up between what's right, and what GTK+ implements. It
doesn't have separate strings for menus, so you don't get the ellipsis.
I'm sure there's a GTK+ bug opened somewhere about "doing the right
thing" in the case of stock items.
So it's really up to you. Personally, I'd stick with the stock item,
unless you have a wide-ranging amount of translations (which you'd get
if you moved bluez-gnome to GNOME SVN, hint hint :)

Agreed. We need to follow the HIG. According to:
http://developer.gnome.org/projects/gup/hig/hig-diff/menus-design.html
the ellipsis should be in place only if it _requires_ further input from the
user. I guess the ellipsis isn't necessary.

what does the HIG recommend for applet menus. I wanna follow the HIG.
Currently I simply did what all other applets do that I have running.
