Create new menu & modified it to look more like ZETA
nice and nifty eastereggs

I am making some progress on the menu and the top panel. The mixer-applet is still buggy but the menu looks better then ever.  

Here is some stuff intended for Test 8.

Todo:

- make jfs the default filesystem in the installer
- include some cool wallpaper
- include HyperConverter (Video Converter for testing only)
- rearrange xfce4 panel to look better as long as we don’t have any good replacement for the ‘Deskbar’
- update the installation instructions and include it in Test8 plus a shortcut on the desktop
- include a link for the ‘ubuntu-switcher folge 2 - Installation’-Video for an easy step by step walk through
- including latest updates for core software (without kernel so far because this needs a total recompile, kernel updates itself after installation)
