	I forgot to mention in my initial reply to Peeter's post that I like
the idea for only one level of submenus.  

	What I'd really like to see is the ability to have a button/icon on the
panel be able to open a window of related icons of programs.  The way
CDE does it.  i.e. you click on the configuration icon on the mail panel
(you know the one with the little icon that has a pallet, moue, "T" &
window buttons in it) and a window would open with a set of icons in it
that ran all the config type programs (xfpager, xfmouse, xfsound,
backdrop, xfgnome, gfx. conf, screensaver, etc.).

	This would be my much preferred way of nesting things.  Yes, I know,
it's the way CDE does it but I never thought there was anything wrong
with it in the first place.
