You can in OSX (although I only discovered that today after having been
using it for months), I'm guessing you can't in XD2 which is what we
were talking about originally.  But I haven't played with the release
version yet so I'd be more than happy to be wrong :)

Very true, although that's arguably a fault of our current arrangement
as much as anything... there are no submenus to speak of on XP's
Start->Control Panel menu either.  (It does get rather long, but they
have far more control panels than we should ever have).
