What I had in mind was an applet which, on a left click, displayed a
hierarchical applications menu, picking it up from the categories that
are still present and buried in Ubuntu somewhere.

In other words, what you get if on Mac OS X you drag the Applications
folder to the Dock: basically, a Start menu replacement. For all those
who hate the Unity dash - and I am not fond of it myself - it would
replace the lost functionality of the GNOME 2 panel menus.
