I wouldn't mind it. It would be like folders in Android or iOS, no? I've never been big on folders in other, mobile OSs, but I know a lot of people would use this. Plus, it would give people another way to replicate the Gnome2 menu hierarchy. On Thu, Nov 17, 2011 at 15:24, Josh Strawbridge wrote:

i think what you're asking for is an option for applications *not to stack* ? i think windows vista and kde have this option. that is what you did in your last screen/mockup. But you were duplicating the launcher. What you want is to take what you did in the right side and place that in the l
