two suggestions for improvements related to this thread.
Kicksecure logo replacing the whisker menu icon. Same for Whonix workstation since they both use Xfce. Would be aesthetically pleasing and nice distro branding to the panel.
Keyboard shortcut easy application exploring like other desktops have but for the whisker menu
Examples
GNOME (Ubuntu, Fedora, etc.) → Super = Activities Overview
Linux Mint → Super = Start menu style panel
Just like @init38 suggested in another thread
