Comment (by bitigchi):

 For regular applications, getting rid of the Applications subfolder sounds
 reasonable. Why not display all applications immediately when the menu is
 clicked? It doesn't make sense to go through another folder just to reach
 applications. And it's a waste of screen space. Still folders can be
 displayed on top.

 Not to mention having to go rightward for the menu and retreating leftward
 for Applications with the cursor is I believe an unfortunate default
 choice from the BeOS side. Not very good UX.

 Filtering is a necessary addition, but not in the scope of this ticket.
