Something like QuickBrowsers?
Not too sure - I've had a search for QuickBrowsers and I don't think I've come across something which would provide what I am talking about. But thanks for the reference.

But I am talking about a "default" ability of creating a folders into which you then place individual applications according to the purpose for which the folder was created. For example, in Windows XP I had folders - which I then placed in Quick Start - named "Utilities", "Games", "Multimedia", etc. Applications relevant to the name of the folder were placed in the appropriate folder. If I wanted a Utility - eg, a disk defragmenter, or a music file editor - I would bring up "Utilities" from the QuickStart bar and run the relevant applciation.
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.
Thanks again, Don, but I cannot find QuickBrowser anywhere in the apps. available for openSUSE (am I looking in all the wrong places?) and, as you say, it may be OK for KDE3 but I am using KDE4.x and have never used dwarf, errr...gnome. In any case, there are more troublesome matters to overcome in KDE seeing as how KDE4 is to be foisted on us with openSUSE 11.1 than worrying about creating separate folders for groups of apps. to put into the 'quicklaunch' part of the 'taskbar' :-) .
