 With the explosion of QGIS plugins, people will eventually have so many
 plugins that it would get hard to find them in the Plugin menu or Plugin
 toolbar.  If the plugin buttons can be arranged in a tabbed (which are
 based on the category of the plugin) window with buttons arranged in a
 matrix ( OpenJump Edit window is a good example...see attached pic), it
 would make it easy for the user to find the plugin of interest.

 P.S another idea is to have something similar to the GRASS plugin's Module
 tree for the plugins
