(Other way around - we currently use the menu applet with Applications and
Computer, not the main menu button, which is just the foot.)

D'oh, meant to mention this in the original mail - thanks. Once we're happy
with the menu applet design, we should figure out the best way of providing
those items in the main menu button. But let's do this once we've got a good
handle on the menu applet. :-)
