KDE "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."

The idea of this menu style is called pie-menu and (like most good and not-so good dieas) is already quiet old... You can find a bit more info on wikipedia:

Yeah, that is what I said in my post. The idea is rather old, and there is already one that you can install under Debian, but it is really basic (no icons, text only) and if I recall only works with twm.

I really like the concept though, it just hasn't had a good implementation, though I think Neverwinter Nights did it wonderfully.

I'll have to give UDE a shot though, I just like trying new things (even if they're old.) ;)
