yes, I saw that, and pretty much like it.

Argl, it's so painful to go 6 times to the bottom "More" item in my
bookmark-menu in netscape. I really dislike that.

A scrollbar is another nice idea, unlike just an up- and down-arrow as in
Windows.

What about a combination of those features? Show a multicolumn popupmenu
like current Qt does, but only to a certain percent of screen space - and
then show additional items either via scrollbar or submenus?
