Hi. I implemented my menu reorganization idea and blogged about it:
http://shaforostoff.blogspot.com/2009/02/fine-grained-applications-menu.html
People didn't like having only 2 subcategories in some top-level categories,
so I'm including only non-controversional Internet category part:
It divides Internet category into 4 subcategories - Web,
Communication, Download, and Connectivity,
making it easier to find an app you want.

screencast (shows changes to all categories):

ok for me to commit?
