Yes

Should I just go away?

No, stick around and code it :)

There are several ways of doing this, some of them more complex than
others.  The justweb theme used to support some of this functionality -
not sure if still does, I don't have access to IE atm.

There are several good free js nested menu systems available.  One of
these could be use for this.  The big issue is xbrowser compatiablility
and a fall back mode.  For example if someone really needs to access
phpgw and they only have lynx, phpgw should provide them access to the
options to change to a more lynx compatiable theme.  Lynx is a good
option when fixing things on a server at the console.
