Calum:

Of all the new applications that is going into the next release,
I think "xchat" should go into the default Applications->Internet
menu.  Please, please!

Bluefish might be another good choice to add, since we otherwise
do not have any internet webpage editors.

I also recommend adding "Songbird" to Applications->Sound & Video".

Note that we removed "vumeter" from our builds, so you will no
longer see the "Recording Level Monitor" choice in the "Sound &
Video" menu.  Should remove that.

Under "System Tools", the "New Login" choice will only appear on
systems that have VT support.  Not sure if this will make it into
the next OpenSolaris release or not.  I'm trying to work with the
VT team to make this happen, but the schedule is very tight.

Xsane might also be nice to add, so we have better scanner support
from the menus.

Just my thoughts.
