Close, but no cigar. Your idea of putting multiple entries in one Xfce
launcher, and then configuring that Xfce launcher so the arrow is
"inside" the icon goes a long way to helping conserve screen real
estate, and from now on I'll use it. Thank you!
But the key distinction between multiple program Xfce launchers and
Gnome 2 drawers is that you can't include a launcher as one of the
items in your launcher (can you???), but you can put Gnome2 drawers
inside of other Gnome2 drawers. This means that with one icon on your
Gnome2 panel, you can have your own multilevel, drill-down point and
click menu of every program you use frequently.
Thank you very much for showing me the value of multiple programs in a
single launcher! I just got rid of an annoying self-hiding panel on the
left side, which was forever springing to life when I moused near the
left, and replaced it with a single icon on the top. Well worth one
more mouse click.
