If my opinion matters, I do not agree on the icon approach, even though 
it seems like a good compromise between the space it needs and the 
functionality it carries. An icon alone wouldn't be too bad (not that I 
would like it), bad as soon as I think of a tool bar next to it (with 
icons that even are slightly larger), I can't stand it anymore. I would 
rather like to have that "Application" menu or keep the status quo 
which IMO isn't as bad a people make it, either (sure, it's not very 
logical, but you not only already know it, you can also get used to it 
very easily once you do).

Also, I wouldn't like to to any changes on that matter before R1/alpha 
is out - there are a few more important things to work on right now.
If you want to know how it looks like, just try out a later Zeta - I 
for sure didn't like that.

Bye,
   Axel.
