Running applications via the GNOME menu is fragile

I’ve seen e.g. FindFailed: can not find GnomeApplicationsTerminal.png on the screen. The screenshot shows the “Accessories” menu entry being hovered, but its submenu entries are not shown. I think there’s a race here: just hovering “Accessories” and waiting a bit is enough for the submenu to open. But we do click on it, and if the submenu was already open by hovering, then clicking closes it.

I’ll try to fix that for 1.2.1, but it might need to be postponed a little bit. And if you want it, you have it.
