Hi Irwin,

Is there are difference to KMenu->Configure Panel->add button-> ...-> add=
 this=20
menu?

Or are you suggesting to make a CDE-like look as default? (break the larg=
e=20
kmenu in many smaller menus?)

>with a suggestion to implement it
Why not put apps in a folder and drag it on the panel? Is there any code=20
needed to implement?

Personally I would like a CDE like desktop, but I probably not everyone w=
ould=20
appreciate. Make it an option in the desktop settings wizzard (the wizzar=
d=20
wich appears, when you log in first time.)

In the second dialog it questions your prefered desktop style:

[X] KDE (TM)
[ ] Unix (R)
[ ] Windows (R)
[ ] Apple (R)

Make the selection set the panel layout:=20
Unix would be like CDE: the panel centered, large with many smaller menus=
=2E
Windows: the panel small with kmenu at the left
kde, apple:...

I would participate in this efford if you like.

Greetings

Christoph Held
