That's 7 but no bug.

Same thoughts here. The problem is likely only concerning developers
with this exact situation. So we should probably not add a checkbox
"Show only applications on boot volume" which would be useless clutter
for a regular user.

Hehe, well i just throwed a random thought, just to comfort Clemens that
i'm also concerned by the issue :) Though saying there's no issue at all
surprises me a bit! First of all, i always consider myself part of the
target audience, so if i see a problem, there's no reason not to solve
it just because i'm an 'advanced' user facing a rare situation.
Secondly, after thinking a bit more about it, i can already foresee
scenarios where a 'supposed regular' user might face that situtation
(multiple installs, install media inserted), and even if that happens
only rarely, that's no reason to forget about it. Note also that some of
the items in the menu will simply crash on start most of the times as
they are from too old / too new versions, so i guess the menu is
definitely not doing it's job of proposing meaningfull options :)

I'm thinking about heuristics on versions, ignore options etc... For me
it's a bit like the now removed option of merging destkops from other
partitions, that might be a "disk mounting" option.. I don't know yet,
just throwing more ideas :)

Consider me convinced, especially since some good ideas to solve the problem have been proposed. :-)

Best regards,
-Stephan
