At first I don't think I understood your point about Setup always appearing.
Possibly setup could go above in the quick menu.  Logout could go back up
there too.  I moved them down as I pondered whether the quick access was a
good thing.  You easily convinced me that it was, however, I'm still
pondering it being more of a toolbar thing.  One thing for sure, if Setup
needs to sometimes be displayed on the Menu for admins then it may as well
be displayed all the time because there must always be room set aside for
it.  Even though it appears all the time it can still be distinguished as
being inaccessible by graying out, etc.  I actually have Admin (setup
renamed on mine) grayed right now when demo logs in but not when Admin logs
in.

I'm also not sure that Main need to be an option at all.  The fact that the
system comes up in Main is a good thing I believe.  The reason is that it's
an introduction as well as a possible "advertising" area.  With it, the user
does not feel that they have been blasted into the middle of the system
right away.  However, it's not really necessary for the user to be able to
re-access Main again within the session.  Possibly, therefore, the Main menu
option could be removed.
