I agree that the handle bar is no ideal solution because it uses too much 
space. I'm not totall yhappy with it. ON the other hand I think the handle
is a quite good association since the menus get teared off like a handlebar
does. Probably someone comes up with a better solution, since I really think
the dotted line is ugly...
