HEY, great idea... theres also a little glitch that happens when i use the
smaller menu in the gnome panel, the little icon instead of the
"applications - places - system" button. when i have this smaller menu
button, scrolling through the applications that dont fit on the screen
becomes even more challenging. i'll offer to help implement this if the
process is as simple as i assume it is...
