I agree more-or-less fully - not more "special" than any other program
*could* be; I don't mind having it set extra WM hints and such ;)

I'm not so sure about this - IIRC this would stop the top matchbox
appbar thing from being shown, which would make it impossible to get
back to <random non-menuified app>.

You could always just install keylaunch and bind a hardware button to
"show appmgr". (It's bound to the rightmost button in the default
configuration IIRC)
