I'm not really sure what problem is trying to be solved here.
Rightly or wrongly, I've never got into Control Stripping, so perhaps I've underestimated its value. What does it add over the Apple Menu?
What I like about the Apple Menu is, you have complete control over the type of items included, so it suits different working styles. I tend to put all frequently used utilities in there.
I don't put applications that work with files in there though. With these I put aliases along the bottom of the desktop. This permits 'drag n drop'. I also lock them to prevent accidental renaming.
