Comment(by nathanrice):

 This is probably a premature question, but I assume the boxes on the menu
 edit screen will eventually be restyled as regular metaboxes (collapse and
 rearrange).

 Assuming they will be redone as such, I don't really see the point of
 having the "menu selector" option. If you can collapse and rearrange
 menus, then there's nothing holding you back from having ALL the menus
 load in the left (main) area.

 Also, I don't really understand the need for the "enable/disable" menu
 options. I would think that if you don't want a menu to be active, then
 you won't be placing a call to it in your theme and/or delete the menu.
 Even if you do need the "enable/disable" options, I think that would be
 better to put inside the actual menu metabox.

 So, it seems like the "setup custom menu" box could be totally removed,
 and the "menu selector" box could be renamed to "Add Menu" or "Create
 Menu" and just have a textbox that lets you create new menus.

 That's all :-)
