Sorry to come in late on this. I think that the classic menu widget must be kept (leaving it in C++ is almost certainly the right choice.) And Greg: do you see anything nice in Glad Deschrijver's QML launcher? it's pure QML, Downloadable from http://opendesktop.org/content/show.php/AppMenu+QML?content=146098
Very simple. But if he's willing, maybe get him involved for review and suggestions?

This could cause issues for the c++ menu launcher "simpleapplet"...I'm not using it but actually it doesn't even compile. Probably would be better to port it to qml as well...opinions?
