A this point I think you take the classical Start button as the way to do...because Windows did it. I don't think so. My initial solution is to remove at all the 'foot' applet from the bar and create a Folder into $HOME inside that there are my items. Sorry...$HOME is my desktop. Some simple screenshots here: http://www.infodomestic.com:8085/Blog/ I'm not sure that this will be a good solution...but I can say you that it's more usable than the classical Star button into a bar. The purpose of the bar must 'reduced to the max'. My user testers now feels better using this folder Menu (called 'Menu')...because it's simple and consistant with the rest of their spatial desktop composed just with object made with .dektop, folders, files (documents, waves, pictures, etc etc)...where you can use the same handling paradigm (drag 'n drop). I feel this could be the right approach. I've to say you that my target are simply peoples that doesn't know about computers with little knowledge with Windows 98/XP or nothing else. I used thi solution because using the menu bar you introduce a little of navigational model instead to remain into a spatial/object paradigm.
