[] (and that the control panel had a lame name or something like that) [/]
Maybe your language file hasnt been updated, what used to be called "Control Panel" is now "My Home", would that be better? It could be called "My Data", "my info", "my office", or something like that...
As for the visibility of the PM section in all pages... maybe we could have a "Mailbox" link. And when you have a new PM waiting for you the "Mailbox" is replaced by a "New PM's waiting for you" link (with the flashing envelope).
