icon stacks in kde?

[pixel fairy]

playing with kde. the one feature i miss from xfce is making stacks of icon. by that i mean a separate panel on the bottom, kinda like os x, where you put a launcher and add multiple apps to it so you get a little arrow menu for all the extras.

with kde, the closest thing i can find is pinning an app to the panel, but you cant group them arbitrarily like that. is there a way to get the same effect in kde?

funny thing about qubes is you end up with far more "favorites" than i think the kde devs anticipated.

Try using the application launcher, and setting favourites. This gives
something like the effect you're looking for.
You can either add the launcher(Add widgets - Application launcher), or
use it instead of the application menu - Right click on Menu icon,
select alternatives, application launcher.
I'd recommend adding the launcher as separate item and pinning
favourites there.

clunky! but will have to do. not brave enough to find a widget and install it to dom0
