The "Dash & Feeds - RTM Usability Fix" document says "The Apps feed cannot be 
deleted/unsubscribed or moved from its position at the top of the list."

I hope this is correct since both Pawel and me had to do extra code to make 
that happen.

As far as i understand the checkboxes and the select-all are there useful for 
the "unsubscribe" feature and that has not been agreed of being part of OTA 1, 
so there's no use at all for the checkboxes and that's why they are not there.

Ok

I'll use whatever you guys give me :)

So do you want me to copy what the Launcher does?

Because the launcher does allow horizontal movement and you said you don't 
want horizontal movement. Can you clarify it?
