My point exactly. It seems that this might be implemented with the Lonestar OS, but not now. It would really help usability.

In my case, I'm right-handed, but the menus that constantly open to the right (immediately under my hand) or the tool tips (I think that's what they're called - the little identifiers that appear when you hover over an icon) that always appear below and to the right of the cusor ARE DRIVING ME NUTS!

(I've tried putting the whole bar on the right-hand side of the screen, but I still have menus that want to open to the right) Same with the tool tips - anyway to control their position when they appear? Upper left for righties and upper left for lefties would be preferrable to what we have today?
