What about the tab-style view?
Personally I like this one best and think that hirarchies do not make much
sense on a PDA. The number of applications is very limited and given that
one can have as many tabs as one likes it should be sufficient.

Given that Robert is willing to contribute fmenu as application launcher
to GPE and that Matthew contributes his window manager with a battery dock
application then it is not needed naymore in the launcher ;)
