Linux desktop panels

I can't believe I cannot recall the name of this window manager. It wasn't GNUStep but it looked like that. When pressed these buttons would either launch a program or slide out a drawer of other programs to choose from.

This would have been running off a 500MB partition on my Pentium 166. This was right around the time that Linux took over on the desktop *cough*
