Translation of the word "Dash"

[Hannie]

On the Dutch forum we started a discussion about the translation of the 
word "Dash". There have been many reactions. I am wondering what other 
translation teams think of this.
In short, there are two options:
1. do not translate it
2. find a new word for "Dash" that describes best what it is. Some 
suggestions are: startmenu, dashboard (which is an accepted word in 
Dutch), snelstartmenu (= quick start).
