 preferences?

 I think you managed to misunderstood Barrett completely. Despite that, I
 found the need to comment some of your ideas :-)

 > I like "Install in Deskbar" better, but since you'll have the same
 context menus in window mode and Deskbar mode, only "Live in Deskbar" is
 usable in both modes.[[BR]]

 I would also prefer "Install in Deskbar" over "Live in Deskbar", and I
 would also prefer "Remove from Deskbar" over "Quit", as the latter is at
 least ambiguous (after all, those little icons aren't running
 applications).

 > With this menu item in place, the installation-alert after launching
 could go.[[BR]]

 I don't think this would be as usable as the current solution.

 > Media's volume control could also do with a "Quit" menu item or, to have
 it more consistent, a checked "Live in Deskbar" entry.

 Consistent with ProcessController, but nothing else yet; "Quit" would make
 it consistent with NetworkStatus, but nothing else yet :-)

 I guess we're free to choose a better solution.
