well it shouldn't be that hard to do ... there could definately be more
DND in the panel

about the fact that the panel is not earthshattering ... it's not
supposed to be .. it's supposed to be a simple but very configurable
interface so that I don't have to run windowmanager XY just to get
a launcher ... I think launcher has nothing to do with a WM and thus it
should be independent ... 

gmc won't be earthshattering .. nor will just about any gnome app ... it's
pretty hard to do something earthshattering that is actually usefull ...
why should we try to reinvent the wheel ...
