Have to scroll to see all "Utilities"

As reported on tails-testers (“Opinion about Tails 4.0beta1”). See screenshot in attachment.

This is due to 2 applications moving from other submenus into the “Utilities” submenu:

  • Calculator from Accessories to Utilities
  • Terminal from System Tools to Utilities

When doing usability tests, people don’t really make a semantical difference between “Accessories”, “System Tools”, and “Utilities”. When they can’t find what they are looking for on the first try, they do an extensive search through as many submenus as needed.

I propose to move back “Calculator” and “Terminal” to where they were in 3.0, which wasn’t so bad and prevented this problem, which I think is worse: people have to do more complex interactions than scanning the submenus in the right column to see all the available possibilities correctly.
