I'd like a panel setup that had several drawers of grouped functions ala CDE instead of one awful Cascading Menu From Hell known as the "Start Menu".
You can do that. Open a foot menu, open desired submenu, drag the title entry (first entry in a menu) and drop it on panel. Or click with button3 on this title entry, and add it via context menu, as drawer or menu. You can set it all up as you want. Then you can even remove the foot icon entirely, I don't recommend it, though.
Another thing I'd like to see is a popup "run" menu, like KDE's alt-f2 or window's meta-R.
It's up to window manager, not desktop environment to deal with global key bindings.
The focus issue you expirience, is also problem with window manager. I bet it'd take few lines of lisp code to get sawmill giving focus immediatly only to windows which match some regexp.

Is really alpha more widespread cpu than ppc on desktops? I doubt it. And you rather dont want to play games on server, believe me ;)
