This problem actually defeats (what I see as) the purpose of the design... any 
ideas how going across can be made functional safely?

The idea behind this design is that it should imitate a 90 degree arc and one 
motion to get to each category. As you pointed out above, that doesn't work 
too well. I'm not too sure how comfortable most people would be with an 
actual semi-circle being used, not to mention that it would be more complex 
to write or even CSS-demo...

Primary != Recent.
Primary lists the default web browser, mail client, and word processor. It can 
be manipulated in a (vapourware, ATM) Control Center module. Basically, these 
are user-defined entries.
