Your idea of putting multiple entries in one Xfce launcher, and then configuring that Xfce launcher so the arrow is "inside" the icon goes a long way to helping conserve screen real estate, and from now on I'll use it. Thank you! But the key distinction between multiple program Xfce launchers and Gnome 2 drawers is that you can't include a launcher as one of the items in your launcher (can you???), but you can put Gnome2 drawers inside of other Gnome2 drawers. This means that with one icon on your Gnome2 panel, you can have your own multilevel, drill-down point and click menu of every program you use frequently. Thank you very much for showing me the value of multiple programs in a single launcher! I just got rid of an annoying self-hiding panel on the left side, which was forever springing to life when I moused near the left, and replaced it with a single icon on the top. Well worth one more mouse click.
