Comment (by jscipione):

 I personally think that we should take the Application folders and
 Preferences out of Deskbar and replace them with Spotlight/Quicklaunch but
 that may be too crazy a suggestion for now. The Apple/Start Menu paradigm
 has become a bit dated these days I'm afraid. If Haiku had the kind of
 market penetration that Windows 98 enjoyed back in the day the Deskbar
 Applications menu would be the same kind of mess that the Start Menu was
 on Windows with third party developers putting all kinds of crap in there
 and adding a hideous replicant icon too.
