They don't. I'm just unclear on why Turba would be presented to the
user as a separate application in the first place. I assume that there
*is* a reason it'd be presented to the user as a separate application
in the first place, since that's what you wanted to do. But I don't
know what the reason is, so I was hoping that you'd tell me.

Do you mean, why would it be listed on the Horde menubar instead of in an app's 
menubar? I'm a bit confused...
