Actually, Macintosh (accidentall) has this too.  Since their menu 
displays REAL
folders and applications(not special icon files), you can click on a 
"folder" in the
menu and it becomes a "quick access" menu.  I've actually seen a few 
secretary-type
people using this.  This menu would be like their "favorites."

It's also helpful in the GIMP because there is no toolbar, it is easier 
to have the submenus
easily accessible.

Considering all KDE apps have toolbars, and Kicker allows you to place 
applications
there, I don't think it is necessary either.  Furthermore, with KDE 
2.1's "most recent
applications and/or "most frequently used applications" menu thing, it 
makes this
even more redundant.  That's my opinion, and I actually do use the 
feature with
the GIMP.
