As I've already mentioned to you in #openmoko on irc, I think this is a fantastic idea. I do;t know if you 'invented' it but now that I've seen it it seems like a blindingly obvious way to extend options.. Of course, it's blindingly obvious *now*... :) The only thing I would suggest is that rather than use words for the items make it a little more global and use icons.. Andy / ScaredyCat
