I know I can navigate the main menu, find an item and drag it to the panel so that I can quickly launch that item by clicking on the icon in the panel, but how about an entire menu item ("directory"?) that has several individual items in it?
In Redhat 8, I managed to do this and was very happy with it. I spend my day running xterms on remote systems, so it's nice to easily click on a small panel icon, have a menu pop up, and then select an individual item to be launched.
I believe I set this up in Redhat 8 by making the menus, populating the menus with items, then dragging the menu to the panel.. So for example, "Remote Shells" appears next to Applications and Accessories and might contain 10 different launchers for remote shells. "Remote Shells" would also be an icon on my top panel with the same 10 launchers.
Is this still possible? I've been fighting my way through the documentation I've found, but I do get lost between the standard GNOME documentation for these things and Redhat/Fedora customizations..
Thanks!
PS. I've just upgraded from Redhat 8.0 to Fedora Core R1 -- Nice work, folks, I am VERY impressed.

In KDE, right-click on your panel. Choose Add -> Application Button. Navigate to the menu you'd like to add to the panel, then click Add This Menu at the top.
Add a drawer to the panel. Right click on the panel, then choose Drawer under Add to Panel. From there, expand the panel and add icons to it as if you were putting them right on the panel.

Sure, I know how to add a drawer to the panel, but that's not what I want.
From what I've seen, drawers only show icons. Since these are different
variations of the same thing (like 5 xterms, one sized 105x36, one 164x80, one 80x25, etc), a menu with real text works the best..
I don't mind hacking the files instead of going through point-and-click in order to do this, but I don't want to chance a method of doing it if this feature has been removed..
Thanks to all!
