You can drag straight from the foot menu and launchers onto panels, can't
you? Providing it's a launcher, or something like that that can actually go
onto the panel, anyway.

Out of interest, is there a way of bringing up foot/launcher menus via some
sort of command / CORBA thingy to the panel? Another thing I've just noticed
while fiddling is that keyboard scrolling through the menu items highlights
menu titles and horizontal separators - are there plans to make keyboard
control skip these (which you can't usefully select anyway)?
