a good app launcher?
I am looking for a good app launcher. I have used gdesklets and its pretty good but I would like to try some others out but don't know of any others. Any would be fine whether they have many features of just a couple, I primarily use Gnome but every once in a while I will use KDE. Thanks for the suggestions.

I'm confused---application launchers are built in to the distro---and launcher icons can be added to any of the panels.
What does an "application launcher" do that is not already in your system?

Tuxdev;
I am amused by your admonition to new users to "use proper English". A noble goal but, sadly, many otherwise intelligent and educated people cannot write their native language. But we digress......
Repeating my earlier question: What is an application launcher and why would one need/want one?
