Bug Description

Binary package hint: gdebi

gdebi 0.1.6ubuntu1, Ubuntu 6.10

I know it's a really minor point, but: In the "File" menu, the "Open" item requires further input (choosing a .deb) before the usual intended task (opening the .deb) is completed. Therefore it should be "Open..."

This looks like a more general problem. gdebi uses the stock gtk-open menuitem. And that comes without "..."

Interesting ... Abiword, Dia, gedit, Gimp, and Inkscape get this right. Gazpacho, Glade, Gnumeric, Gramps, Jokosher, etc get it wrong.

To make things trickier, Nautilus correctly has an "Open" item (no ellipsis), in the File menu and in the shortcut menu, when a folder is selected. Perhaps that's how the stock item originated. But I can't think of any application other than Nautilus that would need "Open" without ellipsis. So perhaps the stock item should have an ellipsis, and Nautilus should be changed to not use the stock item.
