"Inspired by the command wheel in the Neverwinter Nights online game, Kommando is a floating command panel for KDE. Although Kommando's development is almost as slow as an official Debian release, and is only at version 0.5.2, it is already a configurable and convenient addition to the array of panels available in KDE."

I've been dying for something like this. I love the Neverwinter Nights pie style menu. Unfortunately as you said, it really is only feasible for something like a favorites menu. Once you go past your favored 20 applications or so, it becomes a bit unusable.
But then if it went with just a standard install of having only one web browser, email, photo viewer, etc. It'd work quite well. Even with your typical Gnome environment that has only Internet -> Web Browser or Internet -> Email, etc. But once you open something like the Games menu, you'd have to split it (like you can set up in Debian) as Arcade, Strategy, Board Games, etc.
I love the usability of the pie menu. But don't like the limitation of the amount of items you can have in it before it becomes unmanageable. I actually hated Neverwinter Nights 2, simply because they did away with the pie menu, which I thought worked beautifully for that game.
