But this sounds exactly like QuickBrowsers.  At least in kde 3.x, which is 
what I am using.  Not sure about gnome or kde4.

Create a directory on your desktop (or wherever you like) call it Utilities 
(or whatever you like).  Create links in that directory to whatever 
applications, files, directories, urls, etc. are appropriate.

Drag the folder and drop it on the taskbar.  You are prompted to added it as 
either 

- Add as File Manager URL
- Add as QuickBrowser

Choose QuickBrowser.

If this is what you are looking for, you can then add more QuickBrowsers if 
you like.

I hope this helps.
