So as it stands, it looks more like a proof of concept...that is unless someone can help me launch apps another way. I looked into powerlauncher, but it didn't look too user-friendly. I have years of linux experience, so I'm not afraid of tweaking things to get them to work, but I'm having trouble with this.
Well, that's just Nokia following in their long tradition of encouraging open development by delivering bad software, so that others have to write open replacements.
You can drag the navigator bar to the top/bottom, and put the app menu to the top of the list, so it shows up all the way on the left. Then you get the whole first column and part of the second showing; d-pad is still required to scroll down, though.

Or use Personal Menu.
