Launcher and window list
When using Om2008.9, I keep getting annoyed at the distinction between the list of open windows (available by clicking at the top of the screen) and the list of applications that I can launch: most of the time the list of windows is a subset of the list of applications and having to first get the window list, then press Home to finally get to start a new application is just not right. Is there somewhere some integrated application-launcher/window-manager, kind of like Mac OS X's dock? I'd really like to be able to just click at the top of the screen (or the AUX button, maybe) and be brought directly to an application launcher, which indicates which of those applications are already running, and also includes extra windows I might have opened.

Maybe you could try installing Debian? The install takes some time but is mostly rather smooth. You would need to buy a larger sd card, but they are very cheap nowadays.

I do have it installed, but the problem is the same: the best I've found so far is something like fbpanel, where it shows the window-list as well as a bunch of application launcher icons. But it only works with a stylus. I'd need something with much larger icons, that takes the whole screen.
