I can understand the presence of the Desktop item, but I don't like seeing it,
since I use $HOME as my desktop. I've even filed a bug on it
(https://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1519).

DnD to the menu entries would be neat. Maybe then I'd use Rox a bit less. ;-)

An applet for that would be nice, right along with a Recent Apps one.

That would be great. I hate having to open a nautilus window just to get to the
menu so I can use that function.
