Though it is a lazy tool, but helps me a lot. But I don't know how to arrange icons horizontally as shown on snapshot. I use drawer and I found it really helpful.

MUCH better effect than the drawers. opens quickly, smoothly, with compiz effects, no resizing needed and can have custom icons. just perfect. :D personally i agree with rax, drawers actually suck and are completely useless to me due to the same things rax mentioned. ok wait i lie, i have one drawer in whihch i have 2 cpu scalers for my dual core inside, saves space on the panel. but for shortcuts to apps, this works well: what i do instead is create one folder called favourites in the gnome main menu. inside that menu i create the subfolders i want with shortcuts of the apps i want in the subfolders . then right click on the one of the apps in the menu, go entire menu and add this menu to panel.

I'm Canadian, so it's useful to just have a little maple leaf sitting in the corner which holds the French character pallette for when I need to do something in French.C'èst supér-bon! This is great!
