That just gave me a nervous jitter ;-) Some applications are expected to be in the Applications folder on the startup partition, like all of Apple's apps including the apps in the utilities folder, so you don't want to move those!
On my old iBook, I made an app-folder for non-apple-applications in my home folder that I had put on my second partition, and that worked well. Some applications may need to be re-registered, I guess, but that should be worth the hassle.
