Well, I ran into the same issue yesterday after a new install. Before I
had (after 5 minutes) found it under System, I had looked about
everywhere else, I think :)

In accordance to the menu hierarchym I'd also like
Applications/Network/Monitoring (admittedly this is a missuse of the
term "Network" here,  and better probably is  Applications/Science/Data
Analysis. The monitoring is an extra facet to my perception, of interest
to Debian-Tags, not as the main sorting criterion.

Cheers,

Steffen
