I want to throw in my idea about integrating the old GNOME2-like
(apparently I don't know exactly how it's called) menu . At the
moment there's a related discussion about the dash , so I thought
it's the right time to post the thread.
TL;DR : right click on the dash button opens a categories menu (app
categories) (instead of the current lense list menu) ,and each item
can collapse a second menu with its applications (=>same thing as the
GNOME2 menu,but in the current style) .
like this then http://people.ubuntu.com/~alanbell/appmenulens.png
It is easy to do a custom apps lens that uses categories as
categories. You could arrange the applications in an assortment of
different and interesting ways, however you would run into problems if
multiple apps lenses tried to populate the home lens when they saw a
global search change event happening. If the privacy flag was to be
changed to a means of selecting which lenses can see global search
events then it would be fine to install multiple apps lenses and
choose which one gets to present results to the home lens.

While that may be useful ,I meant an entirely different thing : not a
different applications lens arrangement ,but right-clicking on the *dash
button* gives an action menu listing the categories. For example: the
current action menu for the dash icon lists the lenses : "Dash
Home","Applications","Files&Folders"... , while the idea is for it to
list application categories like the Applications menu on GNOME2 would
list them : "Accessories","Education","Extras","Games",... Here's a
