I don't think so. I think Kicker is great. Now that it's architecture is 
stable, I think support for kicker styles would be a great thing. These 
styles can be a predefined set of kickerrc files that set up the kicker 
panel(s) for a variety of tastes. 

I set up my tiny top kicker panel so I could have one-click access to the 
apps I use throughout the day. This way I avoid dropping shortcuts to these 
apps on my desktop (read: clutter), and I avoid having to deal with the kde 
menu tree which is monstrous on my machine (read: tucows junkie). 

One thing I did recently was to make my desktop entirely document centric, 
and then made the icons big (48x48?). This is a much nicer and friendlier 
desktop for me. Plus the icons look fantastic in this mode (great job 
folks!). 

Sean.
