How about this.
Adopting the left menu from Visio, and just applying it horisontally, 
insted of vertically.??

It would look something like this:

+-+-+-+-----+-----------+-------+--------------------+-+-+
|A|B|C| Imp | Kronolith | Turba |                    |D|E|
+-+-+-+-----+-----------+-------+--------------------+-+-+

OK.. the idea is that IMP, Kronolith and Turba are all buttons on 
submenu 'C'. If I wanna use submenu 'B' I would click on this,
and the 'C-block' would move to the right, and get next to 'D'.
which would reveal the 'B' submenu "underneath".
Likewise... a click on 'D' would move thatone to the left, revealing 
submenu 'D'.

This way with A, B, C, D and E we have 5 submenus in this setup.

This is just an idea, and I'm NOT volanteering to do any patches.
(unless I get very borred the next semester...)
(I'm in the middel of my examns, the downside of being a student.)
