Yes, but on the other hand, it would move about on the screen depending on how many apps you had open or how you had scrolled, rather than always being in the screen top-left as at current.

Ahhh, nothing quite like I described. : ) I understand now. Thanks for clarifying. It would be possible to write an application to open like the app menu, though I'm not sure how much control there is over where things appear in the dashboard. Hmmm. Now you've got me interested.

I'd appreciate an app menu application too, would prefer that (and the current desktop as well) visible in the dashboard and being able to add shortcuts to that on desktops. Wouldn't then even need the app menu icon on the dashboard, frequently used apps can be shortcutted to desktops anyway.

As a first aid, can someone share a dbus/shell command to invoke the app menu, that would allow shortcuts? Similar commands for invoking dashboard and desktops might come handy as well.
