Yea, that looks indeed better.

No, it cannot be extended to allow this.

It doens't need to be, it already can do it.

Just create an extra /etc/menu-method/wm-buttonbar file, that looks
much like the original one, but creates "sidebar lines" (whatever
format they are). Then, around the output lines, do something like

  ifnempty(ifeq($title,"Xemacs","t") \
           ifeq($title,"Xterm")\
           ifeq($title,"Xload") \
    "Start-SideBar" $command "using-title " $title " and so on " \
           )

There you are. The code will only be output if it's eighter
Xemacs, Xterm, or Xload. Extend if you wish (and, remove my
typing bugs).
