New Colors toplevel menu

I've posted a patch to bug 116145 which would move all the color operations -- currently in Image/Mode, Layers/Colors, and Filters/Colors -- to a new top-level menu called Colors. (See the bug for the request and discussion of that.)

If I don't hear any objections I'll commit it in a day or so.

One issue is that it makes for an awfully long menu (see screenshot attached to the bug). Probably some of the items in it should be moved to a submenu -- e.g. move everything that was previously in Filters->Colors to Colors->Filters? Please post any suggestions here or in the bug.

I am fine with Layers Colors and FIlters integration, if submenus are used in an efficeint way.

I am not so sure about Image->Modes , unless tehre is a ubmenu Colors->Image to indicate taht thos ewill operate ont eh whole image instead of a drawable. But then, they could just stay were they are.

How about calling it "Image Mode" rather than just "Mode"?

That would be reasonable as far as I am concerned.

While "Image Mode" affects the colours of the image I would probably wind up looking for it under the Image submenu rather than the colours menu. If it was called "Colour Mode" then I would expect to be looking for it in the Colours menu.

Perhaps mode isn't the most descriptive word for the feature. A word like "Gamut" might be more appropriate.

Heh, while we're at it, can we get palettes with > 256 colors? ;^)
