There is a problem with having more than one (or, I should say more than three) Personal Menus running at once. As PM is a task navigator plugin, it needs to be loaded as one of the three plugins for your tablet. You could theoretically run three of them (after changing the code in several small ways for each one) but then you can't have anything else in your sidebar.

Maybe there needs to be a version of Personal Menu that doesn't need to load in the sidebar? Just a command with an argument specifying which configuration to use that pops up a menu? What say you?
And the command could be launched by one of these desktop shortcut icons? Sounds good to me! Alternatively, I wouldn't mind killing off my Web-Bookmarks sidebar icon and having a second PM in which I would include those Web/Bookmark icons that I'd lose.

I'd like that arrangement in any event, but what I'm hoping to get to ultimately is a way to use one instance of PM also as a macro-typer. If you look at Posts #1, 18, and 19 in this thread, you'll see what I'm talking about. (You've given me some input on this before. I still haven't figured out how to do it. Obviously.)
