Well, we're considering the defaults so we should study/ask/etc what 
users usually do.

Afaik by default grouping is activated and about the number of launchers 
can't say, but using my parents as the most-newbie users they have:
-Skype
-OpenOffice
-Firefox
-JDownloader (heh :p)
-Kopete
-KMail
-Dolphin
-k3b

Are 8 launchers enough for an Icon based solution? dunno.
