other users menu

[Daniel Carvalho <danielpc isutc transcom co mz>]

hi,

I usually run other user's applications (root, for instance) in my gnome 
desktop. I want to know if there is a way to make appear the second 
user's menu in the screen. This way i could launch the applications from 
this menu instead of writing the commands in the shell. Of course that i 
don't want to replace the original user's menu. I wan't both on the screen.

If i open the gnome-terminal, use "su" to change to the other user, and 
execute "gnome-panel", it shows a new panel in the screen. It works but 
takes too much space and is displayed in all the workspaces...

(This could also be used to execute applications in other computers, 
connected using ssh!)

i'm using gnome-2.2.0
