I'm for it, provided:
a) you can enable or disable it
b) we give some thought to how to add and remove apps before slapping onto 
Kicker

This says to me that the K Menu is not set up properly - it seems to me that 
almost all your apps should be available in one simple way from the K Menu

It resembles

EE has thought - 
Is there any way we can combine this paradigm with some place to dock/hide 
currently running applications (i.e., out of the taskbar and into the menu?).  
After all, the reason you want the organized app menus is to use the apps 
that you use all the time... The thought's not as clear as I'd like, but mull 
a bit.

Cheers,

Eric
