I don't think this is the point, even though it has indeed been stated this
morning that an all-icon interface can be easier for the user.

however, the point is that the foot doesn't need to mean "Program" to the
user. that's just a name it has been given because it should have a name at
all.:)

important is that it's contents are consistent and make sense to the user.
