Question: are there many people around using template project?

According to another thread/comment from you, if you are trying to
customize and simplify QGIS interface, isn't it easier to deal with direct
and single button from a menu than buttons within a "menu group" under a
menu? There could be a risk to end up with a sub-menu with a single item.
Hope that i'm clear :)
