I hate having to open the menu, go to extras, and _then_ scroll through everything I have installed. Having launchable icons on the desktop should have been present from day one. It's something everyone understands-- click the icon and voila! The program starts. It's great in moderation, and having your launcher is perfect; I was even more excited to see you could put multiple programs in there, having assumed it was for a single one. Most of the home applets are so simplistic my expectations were low I suppose. My only feature request is for a "default" icon for programs like minimo that don't provide one. Larry
