I like this idea, but I don't think it should be mandatory.
If we go with this, it would be nice if the default panel
dedicated the right portion of the panel to the left of the 
clock applet to these application-related launchers.  
We should separate the two type of launchers (as Windows does) 
in a consistent way.
