Some quick observation.  Is there a reason why the launchers are 
directly on the top panel as opposed to placing a "Launchers List" 
applet on the panel?  I've found the "Launchers List" applet to be quite 
helpful in helping to keep the launchers organized and spaced out evenly.

Regarding 1 panel or 2, I find that 2, always visible" panels makes the 
screen look too busy and takes too much screen real-estate.  If one of 
them automatically retracts, then that problem goes away somewhat.

I also don't see the point in cluttering panels with needless menus if 
they're already available through the "Launch" menu.

Thanks,
-Seb
