I could add some gravitational pull and make it blink and howl as the  
mouse gets pulled in ;)

Seriously though, placing it in the top (as a tool bar item) with the  
function pop-up is something I am likely going to do (partly due to  
how the menus misbehave when the status bar is near the bottom of the  
visible screen rectangle).

I am aware of the panel (and drawer) ideas for bundle items (brought  
up in this thread), though it does not address the main issue here  
(that users may not find the action menu in the first place).

As to adding utility windows, that may come, but currently I'm not  
too happy with the ideas I have for setting up that stuff, though  
honestly I just haven't spent much time considering possible ways, as  
I don't think it's the most pressing issue ATM, and I have some more  
long-term plans of changing bundle “editing”, activation of items,  
etc., and I plan to give the issue more thoughts at that time.
