There has been improvements to the players dialog (GTK client) usability in CVS head. Moving the menus to the lower right corner of the window makes it easier to spot.

Here's a few thoughts on how to improve the dialog's usability further:

In the space below the list of nations and to the left of the menus, we could place a few buttons with shortcuts to the most commonly used commands. My suggestion is "Incite Meeting" and "Cancel Treaty".

Also, I get the impression that many newbies have difficulties declaring war. Therefore I think we should have a "Declare War" option under the Diplomacy menu that immediately cancel all treaties in one go.

I have no skills in GTK programming whatsoever so I'm afraid I can't provide a patch for this easily. It doesn't sound too difficult to figure out though.

Daniel
