That is another good point.  GNOME needs it's own way, it's own identity in
the regard.  It may be a Launch button like a Windows Start button or a foot
menu on a menu panel, but it needs to be consistant.  Leaving it to the user
or sysadmins is not good.  They should be able to change it, thus the
exalted choice that people need, but GNOME needs a good default to identify
and promote.

Any other ideas?
