Just out of curiosity - are you developing the 'Start Menu' using Gnome 
SDK ?  If yes, then that would be awesome as the look and feel will very 
much match with the rest of the panels that comes with SXDE.

The above blue print is very comprehensive. Upcoming Apache 2.2.6 
integration does handle some of the issues that is covered in the above 
blue print.

IMO, adding another role is not very much helpful.  I would expect that 
a site administrator would not prefer to give start / stop access of 
databases to any web developer. We need to simply leverage the existing 
roles / privleges that currently exist for Apache, MySQL and PostgreSQL
