It's a conceptual mistake. If you open a menu, you expect to find your
applications there. In the current version of main-menu, you find your
most used apps, which is good, but you need another window to open other
apps, with the result that you switch to the standard menu.

I think the easiest way to make it usable is to remove the browser and
let the "More apps..." button open a sort of standard meny (XP style, to
be clear). A better solution would be to do something like kickoff does
in KDE.
