But I also want to be able to activate it by clicking - not only by hotkey. > Have you looked at the png mockup I did? It is attached to the > bugreport.... don't know if it was mailed or not though. No, it wasn't - now looked at it. I like the 3 and 4 where in 3 the icon should have a different color than in 4. The messages should appear already on hovering however, not only when I click the menu. > This starts to sound like RSS reader or GWibber =) shall we make our > desktop just tweet those and read it via messeging menu? Yes - The output from Gwibber could be simply taken and shown in the messaging menu. > Actually why can't it be part of the messaging menu? Create one more > entry "System" and add those under there. Just a thought....

I also created a mockup using tabs in the menu - could that be an option?

For things I use very often I can also remember longer shortcuts but a lot of things you use just once a week or so.
