Okay. Now I get it. In XFCE, it's a second application menu in the already overcrowded panel. In fact, I need a second auto-hiding panel anyway to uncrowd my primary panel, so I'll just put that applications panel there. Not pretty icons, but I can live with that. I can find the things I'd forgotten I'd installed. This is going to more than double debian's usefulness for me. Suddenly I have a reason not to let the systemd fooferall push me to jump ship. Why would anyone want to hide that instead of explaining it? -- Joel Rees Be careful when you see conspiracy. Look first in your own heart, and ask yourself if you are not your own worst enemy.
