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?
fiferboy, if there is a way that an additional PM icon-set could be made to occupy a second of the three task navigator sidebar slots, could you provide instructions?

I'm hoping, also, that you saw my post suggesting that someday you make a multiple-icon-set PM with the ability to password protect one of them. Used in conjunction with xautomation's xte, it would be a dynamite, one-click password manager.

Also, let me say thanks again for Personal Menu. By far, it's my favorite enhancement to the Tablet interface. It's tremendously elegant, useful, and easy-to-use. You really aced it.
