[Panel-devel] Quick comment on Marc Cramdal's ALI blog

[Jeremy Volkman]

Hi,
I've been lurking around this list for a while but haven't actually posted yet.

I really like the idea of user-defined application bundles.  I often
find myself launching the same group of applications for a specific
task.  Maybe also give an option to somehow keep the applications
grouped together on the taskbar?
